This article will make your head spin. While not really mentioning Nokia too much, I greatly enjoyed the authors take on where mobile phone usage is heading. It’s true that we only have to look toward Korea and Japan to see the future, but there are things even I wouldn’t have had imagined that get so eloquently explained here.

Something that boggles my mind, is this article isn’t supposed to come out until December 4 according to the website. They uploaded it a bit too early, but their mistake is our treasure.

The question is coming up time and time again, is the minutes model dead? For me it isn’t a question of weather or not the model is long gone, but who has accepted it and moved on. 3 in the UK obviously has, when will the rest catch up?
