Mobile instant messaging (Mobile IM) is likely to be the next big thing in mobile phone applications, which is expected to replace short messaging service (SMS) [2]. In this research project, I would like to propose the idea of bringing the GPS (Global Positioning System) location finding service and the Mobile Instant messenger together. Through this idea, I will also build a prototype Graphical User interface (GUI) and create a market plan of a potential new service using the input gained by interviewing relevant focus groups. Thus the service will satisfy customers who buy service for commodity and technology. |
