"Future Search"
Remember the jingle “‘ello tosh, gotta Toshiba?!”?
What was 80s search? The Yellow Pages? A consultation with a salesman?
20 years on... Substitute keyword for jingle, search engine for Yellow Pages [ ENTER ] and reviews for salesperson.
Well, outdoor advertising has caught up and now encourages you to plug your search query straight into Google. Yes, that device sat in the palm of your hand does the job for you and ties in your location.
There’s more. What’s with the numeric pad when the camera or handset mic does it all for you?! Mobile applications such as film recognition Kooaba and music identifier Shazam do exactly this. They deliver tailored information and provide access to sales points for that content.
It’s back to the future... search is now audiovisual.

Mo' mobile
So whatever’s next for mobile social networking? Well, now that our mobile appendage has the ability to locate us at all times, we can truly enter each other’s Radar. Mobile applications are transforming what we can share with anyone we choose.
Let’s get on board with Brightkite . Hey people, not only is this what I’m doing, I am mapping where I am, this is the picture or video of me doing it, and oh, are we close by? If so, come and join me on, hmm… tell you what, instead of finding the name of the street I’m on, I’ll let my Signal Fire iApp send you the location? If you want to join, let me know and if you’re running late, rest assured, I can see you on my social compass (Loopt) and know you’re only 5 minutes away.
Brilliant. Social networking is not only 24/7, it’s 360° too.

It's all going touchy feely
The iPhone, Samsung Tocco, Nokia Tube, the Google Android based G1, Motorola Krave, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia, BlackBerry Storm, the list goes on. 
Hardly a day passes at the minute without a major mobile manufacturer bringing out a new touchscreen handset. But in market of me-too’s the biggest debate remains over the battle lines being drawn up between the iPhone and the G1, the first handset to incorporate Google’s Android platform. The reviews are many, the opinions divided but possibly the most amusing argument I’ve seen for the success of the G1/Android has to be this one. :-)
Google obviously have a vested interest in increasing user access to the digital space irrespective of the device, and if the G1 and the Open Handset Alliance followers accelerate the jump from user to content then for them it’s a win win.
After all you have to have a Gmail account to set up your G1.

Engaging with N-Gage
The UK's 3G licences were sold off in 2000 and as we approach 2008 it's a tad depressing to look at the lack of any proper traction within the mobile content arena. Most services & applications beyond basic voice and 
text services are, well, crap and the long-promised value ot the mobile phone as a comms vehicle seems to be restricted to Burger King vouchers and SMS campaigns.
So it's nice to see that Nokia is getting its act together in the mobile gaming space with the re-launch of their 'nearly-good-last-time' N-Gage service. This time it's not a product but a service which is a very smart move and one which now allows all the big game publishers to develop multi-phone, big title games for their multi-media phone range. The initial reaction looks good [example] so we're doubly curious: will it provide us with new ways to connect with a mobile gaming audience?....and could it (just could it) finally get people using their phones beyond voice, text and the odd uninspired web surf?....
