Hi community right now OM is just getting established.... but its fun to think ahead.... :-)
articles like this one highlight the role of server side apps to help mobile devices with high load tasks. http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/ skyfire-browser-for-windows-mobile-is-game-changing-does-flash/ I am not sure but perhaps their business model is to offer a subscription service to users. we can already see examples of other lower load apps for example thumbtribes (early stage beta see youtube) there are many, many more coming i am sure.... perhaps whenever you move down a road that is not in OpenStreetMap in the future data will automatically be collected.... one way the community could help to develop these services is to collectively provide a place for developers to host these services so that they are provided * cheaply * fast * always available * secure/easy login for nominated developers * funded by donation? the advantages of having this all on "OpenMokoServer" will really draw the community together I think....
