All interesting notes. We will see some new mixes
of features that will go into new wireless specific
gaming models.

This thread started with one example. Location is something
relevant only in a mobile context and this is just one of the
variables in the mobile environment that will make those
models unique.

Also "killer applications" will be shifting as technology, models, 
habits
will evolve. So there is a lot to work on and hopefully to live on...


Cheers
