That's an interesting case, because there's actually a lot of variety in cars. In my circle of friends, everyone has a very different vehicle. We've got an SUV, a hatchback, a sedan, a pickup truck, a supermini, a sport wagon, a motorcycle, a cargo van, a minivan, etc. The powertrains aren't even similar: there's electric and internal combustion, gasoline and diesel, 2/3/4/5/6 cylinders, inline and flat and V, longitudinal and transverse mounting, turbocharged and naturally aspirated, automatic and manual transmissions, front/rear/all wheel drive, etc. (I know someone who even had a rotary engine, but he sold it a few years ago.) (And that's just the last <10 vehicles I've been in!) I'm not seeing a lot of "convergence" yet. Vehicles are diverse because our needs are diverse. It's a shame our phones aren't. Where is the truck smartphone, for people who need something tough to carry their digital 4x8 plywood sheets, or the motorcycle smartphone, for people who want something sleek and fast? All I see is the "crossover SUV" smartphone: tries to do everything, and ends up not being the best at any of them. Everyone I know seems to complain that phones aren't good at the one area they care about, so they keep buying the next new phone that's marginally better at everything, and inevitably worse at a few of the things they care about. We're not post-convergence, we're pre-divergence.
