MobileMonday Barcelona next event on May 7 presents and discusses the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead in Mobile Search.

Since Google introduced it’s easy to use Search Engine in 1998, a lot of things have changed in internet business, very few people could imagine the impact of simple search as we know it know. With even more mobile devices connected to the internet then computers globally, Mobile Search is one of the key area’s in mobile development to satisfy the demands of the consumer…

A mobile search request has to be easy and relevant and needs to be available in the right context. Organising all existing online data to be displayed correctly on a small screen is one of the biggest challenges laying ahead for the industry the coming years. Search news, locations, people, products, tourist and travel information, music and video files, all that data is already accessible on the last generation of mobile phone, a lot of companies are positioning in this interesting and lucrative market space.

Since 2005, a lot of new companies have been starting to position their service, projects like Wapedia, Mobilicio.us, 4INFO, Technorati Mobile, mInfo in China, and more recently mowser are some of the interesting projects around. This year seems to be a breakthrough year in Mobile Search now that the more established internet brands are starting to position in mobile and more and more deals are signed with operators.
