Three Killer Apps For Net Devices
from the coming-soon-to-a-home-near-you dept
Three predictions on killer apps for net devices and what's missing from them currently. The three are home media servers, the ability to "pay anywhere" via wireless, and wireless cameras that automatically upload your photographs somewhere. In the first two cases it's mostly a "compelling reason" that's missing (which is odd, because I thought part of the definition of a killer app is that it automatically is compelling) and the third has technology limitations.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
