Mobile-device-as-a-service? Why not, half-billion users is enough to try.
Like a Kindle just for one kind of activity - reading, it could something like an iPad with only one big app.
Seems line the history repeats itself and we're heading back to the future from an era of general web sites in a universal browser to a closed world of connected devices. ^_^
- bruceboughton 16y agoExcept the only reason the Kindle succeeds as a single-use device is that an e-ink screen is a significant feature for e-reading (i.e. the hardware is the seller).
- what 16y agoI think most people want a swiss army knife, a device that can do everything. They don't want to lug around a bunch of devices, each of which does one thing and does it well. That's probably why the iPhone is so popular; It's a phone, mp3 player, camera, browser, everything you can think, except it doesn't have a corkscrew.
