The Future Of Smartphones
31.12.69
The Border has a video report on the upcoming BB10 keyboard, a camera operating a bit like the new Nikon 1 system Smart Photo selector, multi-tasking features, video chit-chat, and wireless video streaming. Windows Phone continues to struggle in attracting app developers , though they seem to be slightly ahead of BlackBerry App Excellent. Eventually HTML5 leveraged content will become more important on future smartphones, with a great example of the recent move by the Economic Times to optimize content for smartphones, forgoing their iOS app, but that transition at other content... Recently Research In Motility previewed their next BlackBerry operating system, called BB10, at BlackBerry World. It remains to be seen how many users will lust after to multi-task on their smartphones, or if the current one-app-at-a-time preference will continue to dominate. We can reasonably expect monetization troubles for app developers for Google ( GOOG ) Android, and the upcoming Microsoft ( MSFT ) Windows 8 and RiM's ( RIMM ) BlackBerry 10. The thirst for exclusive apps or exclusive content might drive some interesting company acquisitions in the future. To lure developers RiM will give them a $10000 prod to launch certified apps for BB10.
