The issue is how will we choose to pay for our choices? It is not possible to multi task with one choice. One choices is only possible when we can not afford more than one. Some people can afford more than one and that market is not served with one choice. Try playing sports with one team what happens to quality when there is no competition?
The we-com (wireless electronic commerce) crew may have some thoughts to expand upon. A we-com industry wants competition so we may offer the best solution to interact with other choices.
Application(s):
When paper was invented we found many ways to interact with this choice. Some nations made their currency out of paper. Digital is the same type of innovation to paper. No one limited choices
when it came to interacting with paper so one must conclude that the same applies to digital too. Plastic was the next medium of choice with a digital core. The next evolution is a secure efficient digital choice that interact where people want to interact with their currency.
One can still offer more choices while others consolidate. It is not logical to stop innovation to wait for others, when the innovation interacts well with any out come.

Agreed. Just beacause the NA market is technoligically backwards when it comes to mobile technology, doesn't mean that more advanced countries haven't found convergence with PDA functions in alternative devices. Lets be real. There are so-called smartphones in Japan that are even more powerful, functionality-wise, than a stand alone PDA. I haven't been to Korea but, reading engadget, I think Korea is similarly enabled. Symbian is a "PDA OS" though this term is wrong. I can type faster using multi-tap than I can with a thumb board. I can even type on it while talking to someone else on another phone and using my other hand to type on a computer and still beat the average persson typing the same thing on a thumbboard. I am not alone. Those of us who grew up with texting have long since mastered the numberpad multi-tap. For those who declare its not a PDA OS if there no stylus, then there is UIQ.
I am not saying there are the same number of people %-wise who use only basic functiions on a Palm as there are who use a S6 smartphone as a phone only. Though I wouldn't actually be surpirsed if they were close to equal though. I know at least 8 Palm and PPC owners who do nothing more with their device than use the calendar, take some notes and play some games. Two use email and browse the web (PPC owners). For the rest, even showing them there is more, just say its too much trouble. However, it is ridiculous to dissmiss Symbian as a viable competitor to Palm or dissmiss it as a non-pda OS. That is simply not true nor is it factual.
Save democratic capital!
Retooling is still less expensive than building from scratch. We simply enhance the segments of the decline to fit advanced choices. This is NOT the same as cutting the roof off a car and calling it a convertible.
Prototypes first with the identified facilities, if this works well, then enhance the entire acquisition.
Quality in everything we do.
Peace,
