In the next 12-18 months we're going to see a flattening of features added to the phones. They've basically been adding feature subsets that mirror the evolution of PCs, culminating with Internet integration, though this time with seamless syncing of information between extant devices. The OS platform is insignificant. Where people end up storing their data is all that matters. This is why when people get into religious debates about Google Android being open and the iPhone not, they've completely missed the entire significance of the two platforms. They're both corporations, they're both responsible to their shareholders. I would be perfectly happy if they split the smartphone market in a stalemate.
