Beginners guide to developing wireless applications (continued)
My picture of the perfect wireless application is something that, when you're using it, makes you feel like a Stone Age man or woman holding fire in your hand for the first time. If the application doesn't fascinate you, how do you expect it to fascinate anyone else? And at this point in the evolution of wireless applications, I think fascination is more necessary than utility, although utility is right on fascination's heels. The ultimate question is whether or not the wireless applications you develop truly empower and enable people in a profound way. The reaction you want from your user is, "Wow!" If you can't get them to say, "Wow!" maybe you need to go back to the development drawing board.
