3G Applications
 3G operators are planning to make their money with mobile applications even when there might never be a single killer application. According to the Report 9 from UMTS Forum near-term 3G data services are subdivided into content connectivity and mobility, then further subdivided to create the following six services:
Customised Infotainment
Multimedia Messaging Service
Mobile Intranet/Extranet Access
Mobile Internet Access
Location-based Services
Rich Voice
According to a whitepaper form Nokia, 3G applications can be divided into:
Wireless Advertising
Mobile Information
Business Solutions
Mobile Transactions
Mobile Entertainment
Person-to-Person Communications
Bearer Entrance and Periodics
No matter how you classify those, the bottom line is that computer and Internet application will merge with communication and location based services. Network operators, vendors and third party providers are already creating the applications and demos. Here are some sample what might soon come to a phone near you:
