Mobile devices as situational remote control

This morning I met Tim Scannell, President and Principal of Shoreline Research, a consulting and research firm for wireless in the enterprise.

He believes that the mobile device will increasingly also be seen as a remote control device for the "enterprise devices around you". In healthcare, for example, the remote control aka handheld device might allow you to interact with various medical machinery, or bring up a patient record on a big screen in the room with the patient so you can jointly discuss it.

Situational software from a "control your environment" perspective.
