Mobile futures

Great post from John Blossom at Shore Communications.  I agree with his point that we will soon be seeing a new wave of low cost, high functionality portable devices from Taiwan, China and South Korea hitting our markets.  The growing momentum behind Google Android is partly behind this as is cheaper hardware, increasingly prevalent broadband (wifi and 3G) and a growing acceptance by users of browser-based applications (I was trying to avoid the c word).  What does this mean for content providers?  In John's words, "Dear publishers, say goodbye to your love affair with the iPhone - before it's too late. Learn to love netbooks, a galaxy of smart phones and any other device that can get you people who whant your content on the line, and then prove your value from there."
