Marcus Bankuti of PDA Avenue has written an article about the future of the Smartphone 2002 platform. And he has high hopes about the future. Some quotes:
"Smartphone 2002, as I said before, will be successful. I believe it will enjoy significantly more success than current PDAs do. Why? Well, as I mentioned earlier, many people do not yet realize the usefulness of a PDA. Lets face it; there is not a significant number of people using PDAs as of now."
"People "need" cell phones. They are without a doubt in high demand, and there is definitely a lot of money to be made in that strand of the mobile industry. That is why Smartphone 2002 will succeed. People need cell phones, and a Smartphone 2002 device would be my choice if I was looking for a phone and had money to spend. I'm sure most of you would agree with me."
"Convergence is the future. However, in order for this to happen the way I want it to, PDAs on their own have to prove themselves before wireless technology improves. If they do not, then the future will be Cell Phones that are assigned minor PDA capabilities."
Marcus doesn't compare the Smartphone 2002 with Symbian or other phones. This article does not seem to be so much about Smartphone 2002 as much as it is about smartphones in general, and the idea of a phone with limited PDA functionality versus a full blown PDA. What do you think. Is he on the right track with his ideas?
