<<When you try to design a phone with a big enough screen that it is useable for browsing and email then noone wants to use it as a phone because it is too big and clunky. >> At the Gilder/Christensen Disruptive Innovation Conference two weeks ago one of the coming disruptive innvoations discussed was voice activated computers/digital devices. The point was made that as these devices (hand held computers, phones, etc.) got more more powerful and much smaller, voice would be the preferred (almost only practical) means by which these devices would (could) be operated. I couple this with the somewhat vague recollection that Q was working on voice operated phones. I do not know the science of all this, but if they can crack this one, Gilder's predcition that they (along with Nokia) would be the biggest computer manufacturers within the next three to five years would be a piece of cake. Anyone with more informaiton please comment.
