Someone better invent a better battery
first. Then…
The migration from component stereos to
integrated stereo/TV/radio systems and back again is well-understood. The
question is, is the Web a single medium or multiple media on one carrier type
and is the media type or the carrier that determines the optimum mix, or is it
the distribution of the product across a single buying unit, eg, a
family. In the case of integrated systems above, the market for the
single media system was revived when it became affordable for parents and
children to stop consuming the same program in the same location: the
living room. That is, when kids and parents got their own sets.
Apple tends to invent boutique
products. The market doesn’t scale until the knock-offs hit our
shores.
But that battery thing…. Will we see
that in 2007? Will we see that become widely available in the next five
years?

With the launch of the iPhone + mobile Safari web
browser (and the inevitable competitors), the modest inroads "XML on the
web" has made in the mobile space will, unfortunately, be eroded. The
"mobile web" and normal web become one, and continue to be ruled by
nasty, ugly, non-semantic HTML that happens to get the job done extremely well.
Those who long for a semantic web (like myself)
continue to cry themselves to sleep at night. (((sniff, sniff)))
