See any relation? I know I did! Touch really is the future and I’ve been beating that drum since starting this blog. Sure Symbian owns greater than 50% of the smart phone market but it’s closest competitor, Windows Mobile, is quickly catching up. What differentiates them? Touch (as well as an easier platform for developers to build applications on … but that’s another blog post entirely)
I know a Nokia employee isn’t going to answer this, but when do you guys think we’ll see mobiles implement this sort of tech? I’m not talking about niche $700 N95 class devices, I mean when will this saturate the market?
