'''Mobile device code''' is presently complex and difficult to write.  The emergence of [[Python]] on some [[Nokia]] platforms is very encouraging, and according to its own R&D division, 1000 lines of [[C++]] can be replaced by 11 lines of Python in a typical application.  They also demonstrate [[RFID]] as a feature of their new phones, making [[Consumerium Services]] incredibly easy to implement for those products that have an [[RFID tag]].

Also a likely future trend is the embedding of [[Near Field Communication]] technology, which allows instant communication for devices within 15cm distance of each other, to mobile phones, which would be even more handy for Consumerium since the [[product identification]] could be done via embedding NFC devices into the store shelves.

Issues with mobile device code:
Issues with mobile device code:


*direct support for [[NFC]], [[RFID]] and [[barcode scanner]] - probably all three methods will be required and can back each other up redundantly
*reliability (phones aren't allowed to "crash")
*reliability (phones aren't allowed to "crash")
*[[location-based services]], e.g. relying on [[OpenGIS]]
