This makes allot of sense to me. Most of the mobile market seems to be patched with mediocre content, wallpaper and ringtones etc. After working for JAMDAT, I know very few people there go home after work and use the products they offer. I didn't want to either, I was so sick of crappy handsets by the end of the day, I didn't want to go near them.
This passage was particularly inspiring to me:
You know, handsets are first and most, a communication apparatus, a social device, to connect and interact with other people - friends, family, work. It is not only about ring-tones, and access to weather or stocks, and so on. This is why email and IM and voice! and blogs (i.e. communication) are the killer apps. We need to continue to improve, innovate how people communicate. And there is a lot of innovation to be done, to enhance the people-to-people communication (and social) experience.
It's true the mobile device is primarily used for communication, and as we all know of our experience of the past 15 years, there is allot of improvement in communication to be had. This is just the beginning...
