It is an idea coined in 2004. Posting it from one of the PPT slides that was available with me.
Today’s Situation:
-> One cannot exchange a ring tone, picture message across different makes of mobiles. (eg. Nokia to Samsung mobile phone and others)
MDF dares to be a standard format that allows seamless interchange of communication object between all different makes of mobile phones. It's name is derived from PDF (Portable Document Format) that allows same document to be consistent over any platform. If it becomes a reality, any information object (ring tone, picture message, business card, video etc) could be exchanged without dataloss between any make of mobile phone.
Bluetooth solves some part of the exchange but it requires the phones to be in proximity and has been seen to fail in many cases even in proximity.
Though there are some unanswered questions:
- Why would they have not made an attempt up till now? (if big players don't want it to be standardized?)
- One would have to learn to read each manufacturer format. Would one wish to start from the scratch as formats would keep on adding?
But it can add value to the mobile industry. It should be something driven by the Mobile Standards Organization.
