Nice post - I wrote recently about the importance of Context in Mobile Apps and was on the Carnival (I forget which edition now...) Here's my post - http://www.bellubbi.com/wordpress/2006/08/14/handheld-interaction-design-why-context-is-important/ It's about time we as mobile application developers started to think more about how context could help improve the user experience.
