Big Blue IBM said its Indian lab will lead research for mobile web services, citing "lucrative growth" opportunity for their businesses in this domain.
The world's largest technology-services company did not divulge financial details. IBM said it is making major investments in mobile software and hardware platforms and opened several solutions labs focused on research and development.
No timeframe for rolling out the services has been finalised. But, IBM said all projects are at the pilot stage..
"In many countries, the mobile phone has become an electronic wallet, the window to the world wide web, an education device. Globally, mobile devices outnumber PCs, credit cards, and TVs," Daniel Dias, director, IBM India Research laboratory said.
The Spoken Web —- voice-enabled mobile commerce, instant translation —- real-time communication, SoulPad-portable device to carry computing application, BuddyComm - social networking on-the-go, and Good Samaritan - mobile healthcare information are the projects on which the IBM labs will work on.
"The Spoken Web service has been most popular out of the five services in the feedback of the pilot projects," IBM spokesman told DNA Money.
The projects will be led out of India, but will also include IBM's eight global labs in six countries. IBM's India research labs are located in New Delhi and Bangalore.
The company said it would bring more features and functions to mobile devices as they continue to rival PCs for Web-based business, education, communication, entertainment and more.
