How would you use your mobile if you could?Hi Damon

I'd like to see a better and more functional version of the K-Reader and 
SiRecogniser built into mobile phones.  By these already very good pieces of 
kit, I mean something that will allow you to read displays on household 
products like washing-machines, cookers, hi-fi and DAB devices, departure 
boards at stations and airports ... you name it.  The mobile is something so 
portable, something most people now carry at least one of, and it would be 
brilliant to see a piece of software that could do as described above in 
addition to the ability to read documentation.

I would also like to see something with good colour identification built into 
the phone as well, so you could have all this going on in one pocket device.

Finally ... for now ... I'd like a decent barcode reader on the phone, where 
you could add things to it and be able to scan the shelves in the supermarket.

Now there's a nice bundle of ideas to start you off.

Jackie

  Hi there. 

  I've got a few meetings coming up where I have a chance to put some ideas 
forward. 

  I'm interested to know what software would you like to be able to use on your 
mobile phone? 

  Think big. If you could have a piece of software, any software, that would do 
anything, and you were able to put it on your mobile and have it speak to you, 
what would it be? What would be most desirable or useful? Maybe hardware or 
extra hardware could be involved too.

  Interested in your thoughts. 

  .Damon 

  Thanks
