Have you ever wanted to know when the next paradigm shift will occur in computing? Will it be mobile computing or large servers? I think it has started happening. As I write this, the newest iteration of the Apple iPhone (3G S) hits the street. Think about the metrics here. We have reached a mass of users that can listen to music, get directions, play games, manage their servers and VNC into their desktop and home. We have embarked upon a mobile device that is nearly all things to most people, of course, within the AT&T coverage.
Today, this mobile device is about twice as fast and will be reveling in the new 3.0 apps. We shall see more and more industries embrace this technology as the days of multiple devices will get smaller.
With the U.S. Senate now getting involved with the Apple/AT&T partnership, this strikes a chord with not the partnership, but the ubiquitous nature of the iPhone. If there is a good product with solid technology, it will sell and eventually win our hearts and minds. In just over 2 years, the iPhone has won over Apple and non-Apple customers. Like it or not, look for more integration/value using the iPhone in our daily and business lives.
