My first year at uni has been and gone, and now for the second year!

For this unit I've been asked "through my research" to develop an idea and a novel application or interface for a small screen device, IE meaning a mobile phone or a PDA phone.
A novel application should utilise a current/future technology in an original and interesting way providing a new service or product to the user. for example i could create a mobile phone application that will enable users to use an instant messenger ( like text messaging but FREE OF CHARGE or hm lets say a portable weather channel, there is so many ideas out there, how could i make mine be better from the rest? That's where research comes into play.....

This blog will become my research dossier for everything i find that could help me along the way to create a great idea that "could be" used in the future.
