"The mobile picture is now officially a three-way dance: Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The same people who dominate desktop computing. Everybody else is screwed. Former Palm CEO Ed Colligan famously said a few years ago: "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in." That's precisely what's just happened. Phones are the new PCs. PC guys are the new phone guys."
Me: Has Microsoft figured it out? This could be the most stunning turnaround ever. It's clear to me now that ayone who intends to compete and be taken seriously in the smartphone arena MUST have world class software AND hardware. Clearly that is what these companies are capable of. "Parity" devices that are "good enough" just wont cut it. We are witnessing the new generation of smart phones - Smart Phones 2.0. Does HP WebOS have the vision -- and the will -- to compete?
