Wanted: Mobile Applications Acceleration

Mobile Applications Acceleration

Today my Verizon phone running windows mobile was running really slow, it made me think of my last Cisco-Riverbed article and wonder. I made mention that I had told the CTO of Riverbed that they really need a mobile phone client. With that I wanted to put questions out there to everyone and ask; who will come out with a mobile phone client for applications acceleration? Do you think there is a market for the product in the enterprise space or the mid to small business market? What kind of performance do you think we will see in data reduction?

I will give everyone a start with something that I have thought of; major wireless carrier would love this product. It would save bandwidth, speed the network up and it could be preloaded onto wireless phones. The ROI would pay for itself within a year in bandwidth savings in my opinion, if the bandwidth reduction and speeds are there to prove the product.

But the $10,000 dollar question is who will be first to market with the product that works?
