On Mobile Phone 3G opens the door to anything you can imagine. You will be able to do a multitude of things while going through your daily schedule, whether at work or at leisure. The scenarios below demonstrate just a few applications for 3G and only hint at what will be on offer in the future.
Step 1:An executive at a client meeting realises that he has brought an outdated version of his presentation. It’s no problem though because one of his colleagues back at the office emails the updated PowerPoint file directly to his 3G terminal. He transfers it to the laptop (wirelessly of course) and is in no time ready to start the presentation.
Step 2:This Step is about three women who are trying to find a gift for their friend. Two of them are out shopping, but they are out of ideas and use a web site that generates gift suggestions based on personality profiles. They decide to buy a handbag at a shop situated somewhere near the city centre (but at an unknown address to the women).
Not knowing exactly where the shop is, they use a map and positioning service to find it. The map is displayed on their 3G terminal and shows them the shop location and their current position.
At the shop, they want to make sure that the third woman (who was unable to make it) likes the gift. They take a digital picture of the bag and send it to her with a hand written note seeking her approval.
Step 3: The grandparents are out travelling in Europe. Here you see them in front of the Eiffel tower. (The tour guide took the picture of them admiring the magnificent building).
In order to share their experiences with their friends and family, they have created a virtual photo album on their personal web site. This way, anyone with access to the Internet can follow them on their trip.
But what about those without Internet access? Well, that's been taken care of by the WalkMail network. The pictures are printed, together with the text, on high quality paper and delivered as regular postcards within 24 hours.
Step 4: A busy executive doing her grocery shopping hasn’t had time to queue at a teller machine, but cash is not needed. At the check-out, she uses her 3G terminal to pay for the groceries. It automatically debits her bank account, and gives her an updated balance on request.
Step 5:In this scenario, we see two men talking on their way from a meeting. They decide to go out to dinner, but one of the men would like to invite his wife along so he checks her calendar on his 3G terminal (their calendars are constantly in synch).
Step 6:So far, there has not been an easy way to electronically communicate with character based languages. But this drawback is over come with the white board application.
The person in this scenario is actually handwriting a message when a friend of his initiates a video call with him.
This way of creating a message makes the communication more personal than a regular e-mail whether in Chinese, Japanese, English, French or any language.
Step 7:This guy would like to catch up with his friends for a coffee. He uses the SeekYourFriends service to find out who's on-line, and then sends a message telling his friends to meet him in a groovy new café that he’s just discovered.
Step 8:A young traveller has once again missed the train. Luckily, he has downloaded some of his favourite music from a web store. He's also got a pair of stereo headphones to use with the communication device. Seeing that one of his friends is on-line, he invites the friend to a peaceful game of chess.
Step 9:A person out of the house gets an alert from the home monitor. The fish bowl alarm has gone off! She brings up a view from the home camera on her 3G phone and sees that the two cats are attacking the poor goldfish. To scare the cats off, she sounds the siren next to the fish bowl!
