And then as it becomes more than good enough, an industry standard architecture emerges. What does this have to do with global telecommunication and standards?? -if you were an engineer at Compaq You didn't have to build global standards - overshooting the functionality that people can actually utilize in those handsets. Like simple menus?? - the handset itself will become more and more economically and technologically the equivalent of a desktop computer In terms of what, mobility, battery??? (however, the professor makes some feeble attempts at retinas for displays) - cell phone makers which themselves are somewhat equivalent to the Intel inside Nokia inside or Texas inside?? Or, bless you, gesundheit, QCOM inside?? - So I would have a bias that the ability to make money in that world is going to migrate away from Nokia in the future. Correct, mainly a matter of a bias, true intellectual honesty. Ilmarinen Btw, VMS and DEC profited from the lousy stuff of IBM, the IBM part which didn't believe in open standards, as MSFT-Bill also didn't, although MSFT now tries to fix what still can be fixed. Btw,btw, IBM also had the real Viterbi, The Ungerboeck of Zuerich, and still has great hard disks, but where did the IBM DSP go?? (but they now support Linux for data bases) Btw,btw,btw, what makes the world go round is not money nor business, but data bases. On a more local plane japanese teenage girls, WAP 2.0 The global market is different than the defacto standard market of US and US Wall Street, even ... censored..

S100, << And I think that Nokia is about at the point where they begin overshooting the functionality that people can actually utilize in those handsets. ... Comments? >> Time will tell. << an industry standard architecture emerges >> Nokia has worked to open standards and industry standard architecture since 1992. Clayton says he doesn't know much about the industry. I believe him. he sure doesn't know the origins of WAP (Unwired Planet, Phone.com, Openwave). << the suppliers gat hammered >> TI in trouble? <g> << I was rather close to DEC, watched them go from 120k employees to almost nothing in a couple of years. >> One of my favorite books ... The "Soul of a New Machine" by Tracey Kidder ... ... about DEC's neighbor Data General. - Eric -
