mobile was the next big thing ten years ago and US was the key innovator there. Now SV has next next big things around AI and VA/AR and is certainly leading and going to lead here. So it is not surprising that SV might not be leading in mobile anymore, even though such a claim is still questionable
- duaneb 10y agoBaidu is no as slouch. Most of the Bay Area is much closer to mobile than ai/vr. I don't think we value mobile in the US; many with money are resistant to change. Some people still don't use email and are shocked(!) when retail stores now require one to ship to the home address. I'll admit, I've never gotten Apple Pay to work myself. The interface is confusing as hell; I prefer cash or plastic.
