Mobile phones use backhaul - all the internet they need. Youth is not interested in static content, but the real time photo,video, and text messaging so easy for most low to mid range phones and networks now. Email is still the killer app after voice, and all the subscriber services that can pipe through email. I think these are the same appeal to all demographics, and HCI must improve on the phone, older folks need bigger displays, and text input, and once these are in the phones, and the phone net is up to it, phone users will have access and open to more home office style apps. Japan is the example, I remember when they could send video over SMS packets, and now under Dococmo with a complete and well rolled multimedia network - most users don't need PC's. Many of them do everything with the phone - even post to myspace.... Regards, I have some thoughts and would appreciate your reflections – to these tentative declarations.
