Mobile Technologies
by leo on December 14, 2007
As I was searching for the right words to sum up this crazy and very exciting year in the wireless industry, I luckily found the answer in the New York Times.
In the article of David Pogue, he said this year marks the marriage of mobile technology with Internet as epitomized by Apple's iPhone, GrandCentral, SpinVox, Simulscribe, and of course Google's entry.
The fun has just started since 2008 is supposed to be the real Year of the Cellphone. The "openness" of major wireless carriers, Google's pilot run of Android, and the increasing power of the mob to combat the unfair business practices are said to create a tidal shift in the industry.
Although I agree with David's summation for the year, I don't think 2008 will be the year of the cellphone. Just like any cultural movement or awakening, I prefer to call next year as the start of renaissance or revival in the mobile industry.
And since we're talking about future trends, you might it interesting to read ChannelWeb's 5 wireless trends to watch in 2008.

Due to the Olympics being held in China this year; lower U.S dollar; and China fighting harder not to go into a deep recession I think the market for cell phones which is huge already in China will grow not only in China this year but also growing countries such as India and newer phones - which are mostly made in foreign countries will expand.
