Christian's 2006 Predictions
Posted on Thursday, April 6th, 2006 11:10 AM
Yahoo's own VP of Global Mobile Products, Mr. Christian Lindholm is down at CTIA this week and has been inspired to lay down his thoughts about mobility in 2006. I won't give him (much) slack for waiting until the beginning of Q2 to make his 2006 predictions because, you know, he's my boss and like I keep telling him when I turn in my reports - better late than never! :-D Much of his thoughts are of course is in line with our core mobile products at Y!, but he also includes a plug for his favorite handset the Nokia N90, despite it being a bit of a "clonker" (more like two battleships on a hinge... but it does take snazzy photos!).Here's his list:
1. Mobile e-mail will be the key theme in mobility for 2006
2. The cameraphone is being perfected during 2006
3. I think mobile search will be a big topic in 2006
4. Mobile Music is going to be a huge topic in 2006
5. Waiting for killer transformers
6. Mobile VOIP is still hype in 2006
