Guide to smartphone wars, by Walt Mossberg
“The handheld computer is the new PC–the most exciting, promising new platform for running software and connecting to cloud-based services. What do I mean by a handheld computer? Well, it could be one of the new generation of super smartphones, like Apple’s iPhone–which pioneered the new generation–or phones powered by Google’s Android operating system, or the latest BlackBerries from Research in Motion. Or, it could be a small tablet powered by the iPhone’s OS and user interface; by Android; or by other competitors, like Palm’s new webOS.” SOURCE: All Things Digital, by Walt Mossberg
A good, but not complete, guide to the smartphone platforms on the market. The post focusess on hardware, and largely ignores software. I believe that the design of mobile phones, and tech products in general, must have harmonious hardware and software. Also, apps (largely ignored by Mossberg) are a huge part of mobile phones and that will only continue to grow.
