Mobile 2.0 - Myth or Reality?

You probably heard people talking about Mobile 2.0 Some claim that is revolution, already started, that will dramatically change the web and the mobility landscape that we currently know. But some, simply think that we are all dreaming and mainframes will take over the world.

A while ago, Financial Times wrote: "Mobile phones are cheaper than PCs, there are three times more of them, growing at twice the speed, and they increasingly have Internet access. What is more, the World Bank estimates that more than two-thirds of the world's population lives within range of a mobile phone network. Mobile is going to be the next big Internet phenomenon. It holds the key to greater access for everyone - with all the benefits that entails."

The idea is that the mobile access to the web will become the dominant access method. Devices will become more hybrid and networks will become more powerful.

I do agree that we are already living in a mobile revolution. Somehow, I am always skeptical of people proclaiming the next 2.0 , 3.0 or 3.5 ideas. Nevertheless, Mobile 2.0 is reality and here to stay.
