Imagine you have a mobile device, like a PDA or a smartphone, that knows where you are and understands the context of the surroundings (e.g. “I’m at home” or “I’m at work” or “I’m at the mall”). Now, having such a device, what kind of things do you imagine the mobile device would do to make your life easier and/or better?

I’ll give you an example to get you started. For example, I would imagine that when I arrive at home or at work, the mobile device would wirelessly and automatically synchronize with my home or work computer without my intervention. It would also inform me if it had found a new Wi-Fi network (maybe the neighbour had just installed it). When I’m walking in the mall, for example, it would detect if there were any wireless network or other services that I could use during my visit at the mall, for example a mall shops directory, free internet access, movie schedules, ordering food from the food court, paying for parking, etc.

I would really appreciate it if you could write your ideas as comments to this post, and you could write in English (preferred) or Indonesian if you’d like. Thanks!
