cell death @08:47 AM

Nice piece at the always-on-network today by steve baker from tomato design fame (and, full disclosure, the president of the company I'm working for, eduardo sciammarella) about the transition from cell phone to mobile device. Lots of good numbers, use scenarios, etc. Written for business folks, mostly I think, but trying to get these folks to realize that providing cell phone service is a thing of the past.

All it takes to start that revolution is one device—a handheld network device, something very like the Palm TX, Sony PSP, or Nokia 770—with a Bluetooth headset. (After all, what use is a QVGA screen on a handset that's pressed up against your sweaty ear?) With VoIP, a web interface, and a broadband-wired world, the cellphone is a museum piece. Get ready for the ODMs in Asia to churn out hundreds of millions of low-cost devices. Pop in a WiFi CF card, and you're ready to roll. Did someone say dumb pipe?
