You know I am all about web-based applications but the single most frustrating factor is what happens when I don’t have Internet access? Your laptop becomes as useful as a mobile phone without service. You spend $2200.00 dollars on a high speed laptop which becomes totally useless as soon as it doesn’t have Internet access. This frustration came about when I was working with Google’s calendar function. I saw how powerful their Gmail/Calendar/Document tools have become. How powerful are they if you can’t access them… totally useless. Even when Wi-Fi becomes as accessible as GSM/Cell service is… you will still have a large number of areas where you will be unable to ‘connect’. How many times have you been frustrated with your mobile because you cannot get service? This will carry over into the next generation of wireless networks. If you live and work in a major metropolitan area… then you may not experience the loss of network connectivity as much as people not living in those areas. These tools are great while your connected… but we’re not always connected.
