Now people are so hooked on the ability to have fingertip access to anything on the Web. It is amazing how in touch one individual can be with what is going on around the world that if you do not have this type of access one is most likely left out of the loop or one step behind the people who have such quick access. I have witnessed that now when I download an app on my iPhone I am asked if I would like to receive immediate notifications via SMS texting. To me this is amazing that not only did we think we have access at the click of a shortcut app, but now apps are doing the work for us and sending information directly to our mobile phones.]]> I find it interesting that it was once unheard of to have Web access on your mobile device not even 10 years ago, better yet it wasn’t even common 5 years ago.

Good points made but can’t see the video. Could you send me a password for it or should I be asking Dunia Media?

One of the things that has also helped blur the line between the ‘real’ mobile web and the new mobile web even more is the applications that have bridged basic SMS and the internet to allow people to post updates to platforms like Facebook and do IM from basic SMS only phones like the Nokia 1200.

One such application that has been popular here in Zimbabwe is the eTXT system by ForgetMeNot Africa launched last year. It’s available in Kenya as well I think but have no idea what uptake has been there.

What’s even more interesting is the many possibilities this opens for app developers to create solutions for such a platform and provide even more creative basic phone to internet solutions.
