If only SMS could be sent in a easy, user-friendly, and ergonomic way, then the SMS volumes would approach or even exceed instant messaging volumes. SMS can be sent from anywhere, not just from wired computers. SMS can be sent from mobile phones, whose number, we have shown, will exceed the number of wired computers. In view of all of these factors, the impact of improved text entry technology on SMS volumes can be predicted to be at least an order of magnitude increase, perhaps two orders of magnitude. As SMS messages become easier and more enjoyable to type, we expect that longer and longer messages will be sent.
Longer messages can convey more information, and be used for more purposes.
SMS will be able to replace many of the functions of email. When this happens, SMS volumes will approach the combined volumes of email and instant messaging from desktop computers. WordWise should be provided by carriers bundled as part of a value-added package of services, including SMS and mobile internet access. Service providers who adopt Eatoni s software will find it easy to successfully introduce this technology into the market, as our software makes typing on mobile devices easy and efficient.
