RIM Keynote at CTIA on Thursday
I'm at CTIA, keynote session on Thursday. Mobil bar code scanning using an ordinary camera phone and with the idea o f changing how consumers interact. Launch the code scan application, for example you are waiting at the bus stop and notice movie poster, you see a new 2-d barcode and wave the phone over, download the trailer for the movie, You can buy the movie ticket via phone, size of code can be big or small. Marketshare keeps growing, Soon every phone will be a smart phone. First product was an intereactive pager. Question is why are smart phones growing so much? answer is airlink payloads. Used to be way out idea of wireless data. Convergence of payloads. Link to services that move across the payloads. now paging, sms, email, instant messaging, social networking, blogs and wikis. This is here and now type stuff. Grew 110 % last year....
