Data, structured or unstructured, is key all web apps. One of the biggest problems I see today is that data is hard to obtain and manage. The mobile device can be a great passive data capture device. With features like the speaker, accelerometer, magnetic compass, proximity sensor, light sensor etc.
Some early ideas that are emerging
- Near-time traffic with apps like Waze
- Noise levels with apps like WideNoise
Other services that could be really great
- On the ground real-time weather sensors
- Real-time pollen allergy and pollution patterns
- Real time or windowed reviews
- Real time pricing discovery
