When I was a staffer at Mobile Computing & Communications Magazine, way back in the mid-90’s, the notion of ‘wearable computing’ conjured far-off sci-fi images. Now, the current incarnation of mobile devices, PDAs and ultraportables is enough for Tom Yager to declare that, “futurists’ dreams of the wearable computer are realized. As foreseen, that technology has changed culture and, arguably, humanity.”In the mobile apps gold rush, Mr. Yager asks “Now that we’re living the future predicted for us … one major question remains: Where are the apps and services that mobile platforms enable?” Not here yet, despite the fact that Adobe, AOL, Google and Yahoo see mobile development as fertile ground. So Yager rubs his crystal ball, gazes inside. “One day our wearable computers will work with us and for us in ways that divisions among platforms and sweetheart exclusive deals with wireless operators make difficult to imagine.” Software Development
