Watching the Future in your Hands
Anand Chandrasekher, Sr Vice President & GM, Ultra Mobility Group, Intel Corporation speaks at 9 AM on March 18 at Spring VON
The truth is we are on the verge of a new era of communication. For the moment ignore the social network, unified communication and wireless mobility infrastructure discussion. Let us just talk about the future that will be in your hands. The iPhone has shown us that the Internet with a full browser is the best story to tell the consumer.
Some of our industry leaders get this. Currently we have Intel and Nokia being challenged by Apple and soon Google. All of these companies are trying to bring the Internet to the end user with the minimal modification. The question is what size is right for your mobility in the future?
It might be the size of the book you take notes is an indication, but the battle field seems to be clearly marked by a DMZ Debated Maximum siZe. Apple has played the small side with the iPhone and the large size with the powerbooks. Look for them to push to the middle with a powerbook with a nine inch screen.
Nokia on the other hand has a nice small device. I love called the N95 and the N800/810 series. And Intel wowed us at Fall VON with a bunch of prototypes from their partners that were in the four to nine inch range.
Quanta Smartphone
We are definitely on the brink of a revolution in IP Communications and you are going to choose the future but first you will hear it at Spring VON.
