The new iphone 3G is out and as a Apple Fanboy i allready love it! There are the 3G, the longer batterylife, the software version 2.0 etc. And now 60 countries carry it. Most of Europe is covered and many citizens will carry on of these small computers, that they really are even more than an phone. And with the new “openness”-strategy from Apple, letting developers with app’s in, there will be a huge market for this phone, as with many other smartphones.
To sum up: many smart phones in the hands of citizens, new opportunities and great ways of connecting and socialising etc.
I guess there is some smart services in the pipeline from governments, taking part in the revolution/evolution (depending on how you sees it). Of course every government will give their citizens the possibility to connect with government on a mobile device/platform when these are penetrating the marketplace, and will spread viraly/fast Im sure. Im sure that there will be (government-)developers who will put great services, or at least some private, who will come up with ways to mix gov-services with “what do I know”-services, for this mobile platform. Or ..?
In Denmark, where I am located, the strategy for mobile devices is none-existing. There is no such thing as government services directed at these devices. I really have no idea why this is, do you?
Being the proud owner of an iPhone, enjoying the great free web-based services for this device, I can’t help wonder, where the great Government (mobile-)services are for my iPhone. Where’s the will to take hold on this?
