Top 10 trends that will transform mobile between now and 2015

Another missing trend is Wireless Health, so I'm wondering if Gartner thinks that all the issues with payments, etc will not make it a trend... Given how much money Qualcomm is investing in it, plus with Continua driving the standardization, I would think this would make the list before Augmented Reality, which I am not too certain about.

As far as M2M, there are far more other standards to look out for, including Zigby, as well as deeper developments in the data analytics for M2M.

Whit this every mobile industry will progress! Nice article

Great article! This is a well-rounded top 10 list and I agree with Mr. Hiner. Applying these trends to business, where many companies are supporting employees bringing their own devices, adopting mobile device management, location tracking, and policy enforcement will be critical to ensure corporate standards and data security. Managing mobile assets has been a growing concern for many of our customers so we recenly extended our asset tracking portfolio to include MDM. http://www.numarasoftware.com/news/2011/mobile-device-management.aspx

While I may not be fluent on all the proposed trends, one trend that needs/should continue is patents.
Without continuing progress in his area, you may as well say 2020 instead of 2015.

While media loves to push HTML5 (for all the wrong reasons), it's not letting out the ugly truth (at least the way I see it). HTML5 is the basically means the browser was all over again, but on a new front.

The experience (UX) will vary from browser to browser even years from now. So while it's defiantly a much needed improvement for the web, it's not the silver bullet everyone is touting it to be.

There will always be some bending of the standards that everyone is suppose to adhering to (here we go again). Really, web development is often much more than just a video tag and some JavaScript.

That said; I wouldn't be surprised if there is a renaissance for Flash, Flex and of course Silverlight in the next few years. Anyone of these micro-platforms offer a cohesive UX across pretty much all browsers. It???s a ridiculous notion blaming a plug-in for bad programming. It???s even more ludicrous blaming the plug-in for the OS???s inability to deal with it.

Maybe that???s the real crux of the issue; how do we mange bad web development? I don???t see HTML5 stopping that. =;???D

The bottom line; I???m not saying HTML5 is not needed, but I???m not seeing HTML5 as the end game.

Sorry for the rant. Just my humble opinion, I could be wrong.

Cheers.

death to flash, I hope soon !

I think your theoretical thought about data sec & organizations buying into cloud or even in-house serverhosted apps is right on. I cant agree more
In fact maybe sooner than we think!
