    Fjord mobile trends 09:

    Handset business is dropping - changing consumers are hanging on to handsets longer

    People always need to talk == operators ok?

    Phone to flute leap not possible for "normal" mind

    In-app purchasing is huge oppertunity for digital assets

    2 master copies (laptop/desktop & cloud)

    Lifeblog : phone & pc, 40% of effort to sync. 60% of cost.
    
    Mobileme syncing
    

    Privacy. Box at home needs to live in cloud

    super rare eng skill:

    (Nokia rf were gods)
    
    Yahoo backend scaling
    

    Seperaing out to high & lowend

    Nokia is digital coke-cola

    Apple is only b2c all others b2b

    Netbook:

    most people are used to combination of screen&keyboard
    
    Operators have not figured out how to sell more than one
    
    Object is small & cheap - reverse gadget kicks in, enables women to buy in
    
    Kids. Need to be affluent for everyone to have own
    

    HW is the service -

    iPod is a physical service
    
    Razr - beautiful design, super thin but horrible to use
    

    Olpc - fucked? .org not able to compete with comercial market

    Olpc is the genes
    

    Apple will get into netbook at somepoint. Will they be able to game change as iPhone

    Still dont have good linux build for netbooks

    iplayer users more BW than youtube in uk

    Kids using bluetooth to pirate or as new sneakernet

    companions - Limit is battery

    iPhone if used as intended, always runss out of juice

    Number of devices increase (iPhone, itouch e71 all three empty by end of day)

    Lots of activity in android driven by smaller operators & manufctures

    Still imature
    
    Inovation in ui
    

    Need to build then analyse in mobile space

    With an OS just need to grind on it.

    Google hiring superstars who don't have patience to grind it out
    

    Difficult to make platform is not fragmented

    The logical endpoint of all of this is that everybody runs their own social network
