The cell phone is still up for grabs.
Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG, Siemens, Panasonic. They’ve had years to get it right, but still no one has. The UIs suck. The smarter the phone the slower it is. The “other stuff” on phones still haven’t caught on [Chicago Tribune, registration required]. Today’s phones are failures — mainly software/interface failures.
What company gets the software-hardware-interface-experience connection like no other? Apple, of course.
Are we going to see Apple change the world again? Will Apple finally raise the bar on a piece of hardware and software that hundreds of millions rely on every day?
It’s theirs for the taking. Please take it, Apple. [Signal vs. Noise]
