What did I tell you? SMS is still growing.
Why? Because, among other things, it’s simple to understand and ubiquitous. My friend and I have been working in fits and starts on a simple SMS service here in Finland. If we can ever get our butts in gear, I’ll let you know how it all goes. But, I think this is something he and I are only going to have time to hack over the summer.
Gotta love the comment that SMS is like the Cinderella of the industry (see below and follow link for good story).

Next week 3GSM in Cannes will see many dazzling new technologies on display, but how many stands will have interesting new SMS services? Based on my previous experience the answer likely to be ‘hardly any’. So few in fact that SMS could be called the Cinderella of the mobile industry – doing all the work, providing most of the revenues, still full of potential but not getting the recognition it deserves.
Thanks Peter B for lead.
