Mobile apps with the maximum of functionality – new approach to mobile software development

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Modern interfaces designed for mobile phones lacks integrity. Specialists form the EleganceIT company decided to reconsider existing approach to mobile soft development and invented some new features. They just took a sheet of paper and drew a table, including all the most popular mobile functions in horizontal and vertical lines, one by one. So cell at their intersections showed the possible way of integration:

1. Calendar + Phonebook = birthday reminder

2. Photo + Phonebook = to mark in the photo your friends from phonebook

3. Calendar + Photos = sort photos according to dates and events from your calendar

4. Photo + GPS = locate photos, taken by phone user

5. GPS + Phonebook = to mark addresses (home, work, etc.) assigned to people from your phonebook

6. SMS + Phonebook = to show SMS messages as a chat with particular contact (as it was done in Gmail)

7. GPS + Call log = to show where the call took a place (It is doubtful, but it may be helpful for those who need an alibi :) )

8. Notes + Phonebook = mobile CRM, to leave any notes about people from your phonebook (their wishes, debt, etc.)

9. Contact + Alarms = call reminder, appointment reminder, etc.

10. Alarms + GPS = to call back to particular person when the phone is at an appointed place

11. Internet + Phonebook = friendfeeds, rss from their web pages

12. Internet + Music = something like last.fm

13. Bluetooth + Phonebook = associate contact and bluetooth address, keep a transmissions history (or even better keep one chat with sms, call logs, rss, etc.)

14. SMS + GPS = send SMS on arrival an appointed place (Mom: Son, send me sms on arrival – it will be so easy then :) )

EleganceIT believe that users definitely appreciate such features, so mobile development companies should work in this direction.
