Realtime Data to the Mobile Handset

By Paul Kedrosky · Friday, December 15, 2006 ·
I've been pushing realtime relentlessly here, but I haven't made the connection to mobile as often as I should have. Let me be clear: Most of the more interesting realtime apps going forward will bring realtime's immediacy to mobile.

I could give you myriad examples from two stealthy projects with which I'm involved, but I'll settle for pointing you to a news release from the New York Board of Trade. Its NYbotLive service is now mobile, with live commodity and option price data being streamed to subscribers using a Blackberry or equivalent.

Welcome to the next generation crackberry. It's not going to be just email anymore.
