Also, quite a number of people out there sync their business data and must not use online services to do so. (And I'm saying this even though I do sync via an online service; still, I consider this second choice and would prefer device2device sync via bluetooth.) |
Re: Whither the revolution?
You misunderstand.... Device 2 Device is still important, but the future that the NIT present is when this will be unnecessary. In the future, it _should_ be easier to stay in "sync" online than offline. Of course, not everything has WiFi or "free" internet yet, but at least some phones do.
As for business, its really not safe to carry around info on a portable device that you would not want to sync over the web. Remember, your company can sync using their own servers... Until then, the old palm concept of sync will still be there... P.S. One reason I don't think device 2 device information exchange will not go away is because if you meet someone on the street, and you want to exchange data, its probably easier to do it D2D, but then again, all you have to do is add each other on facebook or linkedin, and boom, all the data you want is there... |

There's a risk of losing such a device, yes, but that's about it. If you do, and if somebody else gets access to the data, you'll be held responsible. (Most important: You notice when it's lost.) Using whatever service on the web is differnt though: You can safely assume somebody will have access to your data. You don't know who, when and how often, though. That's not a risk you put up with, it's something you know will happen. It's like driving a car (knowing you might have an accident, but chances are low) vs. jumping onto the highway right in front of a speeding truck. That's why I'm not allowed to use any kind of syncing mechanism except via USB with my mobile phone. |
