Mobile is Web 3.0

That's right, you heard it here first folks.

After looking into the mobile platforms, more notabibly Google Android it became clear once more that the next web revolution is Mobile Phone + GPS + Internet + Camera (Read bar code scanner)

One prime example which I came up with which has been thought about by heaps of other people is location based shopping. Imagine a housewife carrying her Android phone around the supermarket. She sees a product which is on special. The first thing she thinks is wow, that's cheap, but if she buys it she faces the soul destroying discovery that its 10c cheaper just down the road. So, she scans in the barcode, the device connects to the internet, identifies the device and stores the location and prompts the user for the latest price if it is different to the one listed on the shelf. If its different it stores the price in the database. Then it shows a list of the same product sorted by location or price which has been scanned in by other users of the network. Then she can make a decision if she should by the product there, or go down the road and save 10c.

Wow, that's a great idea I hear you say. Thanks! But its already been done. Check out this early development video

As annoying as it is, the press will pick up this new Web 3.0 idea and run with it - but remember, you heard it here first!
