Bluetooth technology is now pretty much seen as a standard feature of mobile phones. It is a simple way to transfer data to other devices or across platforms. The only main drawback is the range of the Bluetooth signal, which makes the system more appropriate for location-based services.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication)"RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts. Consumers of RSS content use special browsers called aggregators to watch for new content in dozens or even hundreds of web feeds." Source: Wikipedia
RSS feeds are a great way to view web content on mobile devices as the display of the information is a simple text-based list. This is also an example of the user having control over what content they receive, users are 'pulling' information that they want to see rather than having unwanted content 'pushed' to them.
LOCATION BASED SERVICES
Location Based Services (LBS) are used by phone networks to send customised advertisements or other forms of information to mobile phone subscribers depending on their current location. GPS chips built into the phone allow the networks to find the exact location of the person, and then send them information about that particular area.
