The future of smartphones - Nokia, RIM Blackberry, Apple iPhone, Android or Windows?

Being too conspicuous is something that large manufacturers hope to do when they want to make a name. The shocking prices that people spend on technology that is worth less than a disposal fee in a few years.

Regardless, looking at the use of cell phones today, people are using text more frequently than making phone calls. If you come upon this blog, you would think that there are millions alike - I could include videos, photos etc. but really who will spend time to read it?

Smartphones can be tools for consumption as much as they can be used for publishing and two way communication. It seems however that most of us use the internet to consume the works of others rather than produce our own. However considering that texting is becoming more common than phone calls, I strongly believe that smartphones will continue to have a real keyboard, but will probably all include a touch screen. Real keyboards give tactile feedback and generally much less prone to errors when typing.
