TECHNOLOGY We are told that very soon we'll be living in a world where everything we do in computing, including data and applications on our mobile phone, will come down from the cloud when we turn on and go up to the cloud when we switch off. Google apps are just the beginning. Not only that, but that any single user can in theory draw on massive storage capacity or processing capacity available in the cloud. What do you think the major developments and implications will be arising from cloud computing? Read on
MOBILE As the world wide web gears up for the full unleashing of HTML5, some web browsers are already supporting some elements of HTML5. The support varies widely, although almost all Smartphones support the new standard already which has to make one wonder why Apple and Google have thrown so much weight behind it already. Read on
INDUSTRY TALK What are the major developments you see happening over the next year or two in ad serving and ad networks?

TECHNOLOGY Augmented reality has been around for a while in geeky forms in both gaming and online, but it now appears to be one of the most exciting areas unfolding in mobile. As you know, it involves the overlay of additional information onto the naturally perceived physical world. Applications for smart phones are already available for tourism, shopping, restaurants, navigation and other uses.
