iPhone Alters Future Designs of Smartphones

Many feel that iPhone has revolutionized the entire mobile industry. But did it really alter the entire smartphone market? Judging from the hype I have to say yes.

Good thing ABI Research has a new study about the smartphone market. When asked about the impact of iPhone in the future of smartphone, wireless research director Stuart Carlaw answered a categorical yes.

"The iPhone will not revolutionize the smartphone market. But it is a significant evolutionary step forward. As was pointed out once its specifications were made public, the iPhone is not cutting-edge telecommunications. Where it is radical - in its user-interface and functionality - it will certainly change forever the way handset manufacturers think about their design philosophies. And from the commercial point of view, it is significant in the way it assembles its offerings in a completely integrated, brand-heavy package," says Carlaw in a press release.

It means that this is just the beginning of a new war on interface and iPhone may not have the last laugh. The first mover advantage in the mobile industry might not be that advantageous at all.
