I rushed to the store to buy one of the first IBM PC to show up in my home town. If memory serves, it cost around $5000 in early 1980's dollars, had no hard drive, almost no software available, slooow, but it was a real computer and it was mine. People today don't realize what chaos was created by the multiple OS. Almost everybody heaved a big sigh of relief when Wintel won. I would be very surprised if the cell phone market doesn't become at least a partial commodity . I'm less sure about the time span but expect the process to be well started within 5 years.
