2014 Mobile World Congress is official over.. so what did we learn and what's next?
First off Samsung launched a new Smart phone, now the S5, making the one-year old S4 old... do we really want to change mobile phones every year? Why do you want to do that when you are only getting used to the phone.
Zuck of Facebook used the keynote address to justify that the price of WhatsApp... Hours after WhatsApp went out of service.
Lots of wellness and wearable stuff.. If you ask me the battle of the wearables in MWC was won by Fitbit.. their stand is always full of people, long queues of enthusiasts who wanted to try out the gadget.
Augmented reality haven't grown old. Despite the fact that the augmented reality hype died down long time ago, the upcoming devices like Google Glass is making it sexy again... Speaking of Google, they want to increase privacy by not letting others like Carrier IQ just collect customer data... now the question who actually collects the most data and monitors customer behavior on the net and sells that to advertisers?
Less and less people walk to visit the exhibition stands. Now is is bad news for exhibitors but good news for managing your time while you are there since most meetings are pre-arranged... Question is how do you like your MWC to be?
