After a short trip to the UAE and the Middle East over the summer break, I have come to believe there are many opportunities in the booming state of Dubai for mobile service developers and Naviblog is currently looking at opportunities with a number of local partners. The tourism, construction, property and banking sectors, as well as high mobile phone penetration and increasing usage, are laying down the groundwork for strong everyman demand for mobile services of all stripes.
Tourist maps and guides? Property price comparison sites? Mobile banking portals? Employment sites? I think there is a lot of opportunity here for mobility as the Emirates move from a predominantly heavy industry and construction economy to a services- and information-centric society. It's an exciting place and time to be there.
