Here’s the Top Five:
No. 1: Money Transfer
This service allows people to send money to others using Short Message Service (SMS). Its lower costs, faster speed and convenience compared with traditional transfer services have strong appeal to users in developing markets, and most services signed up several million users within their first year.
No. 2: Location-Based Services
Location-based services (LBS) form part of context-aware services, a service that Gartner expects will be one of the most disruptive in the next few years.No. 3: Mobile Search
The ultimate purpose of mobile search is to drive sales and marketing opportunities on the mobile phone. To achieve this, the industry first needs to improve the user experience of mobile search so that people will come back again. Mobile search is ranked No. 3 because of its high impact on technology innovation and industry revenue. Consumers will stay loyal to some search services, but instead of sticking to one or two search providers on the Internet, Gartner expects loyalty on the mobile phone to be shared between a few search providers that have unique technologies for mobile search.No. 4: Mobile Browsing
Mobile browsing is a widely available technology present on more than 60 percent of handsets shipped in 2009, a percentage Gartner expects to rise to approximately 80 percent in 2013. Gartner has ranked mobile browsing No. 4 because of its broad appeal to all businesses.
No. 5: Mobile Health Monitoring
Mobile health monitoring is the use of IT and mobile telecommunications to monitor patients remotely, and could help governments, care delivery organizations (CDOs) and healthcare payers reduce costs related to chronic diseases and improve the quality of life of their patients.

Hyves had het. Facebook heeft het. Het marktaandeel van het Amerikaanse sociale netwerk is groeiende, wat ten koste lijkt te gaan van het marktaandeel van Hyves.

Was Hyves tot voor kort nog het enige ter zake doende social network (LinkedIn niet meegeteld) in Nederland wordt Neerlands trots snel ingehaald door het relatief nieuwe Facebook. De recente historie laat zien dat andere relatief kleine maar nationaal sterke social networks als sneeuw voor de zon kunnen verdwijnen.
Als we bijvoorbeeld kijken naar het zoekvolume naar de termen 'Facebook' en 'Hyves' in Google Nederland zien we dat terwijl Hyves naar beneden duikt, het aantal zoekopdrachten naar Facebook gestaag blijft groeien.
