Yes, you're right! This all mostly a translation issues, unfortunately, I'm not native speaker.
Desktop systems, of course, will remain in offices and other so-called professional use, but it is not the mass market. The mass market (which generates real revenue) are the people around you, and these people uses Nokia phones and facebook or hi5. Today, they use phones for voice communication and time-rent PC for internet access, but this behavior now became obsolete. Many of new mobile devices with "big" screen and reasonable fast CPUs emerges, and now it is finally possible to use one device and one carrier for all. This is a paradigm shift, excuse me for such kind of words =) And because of enormous money spent by global mobile operators like Vodafone and it's sub-nets there will be cheaper tariffs, faster speeds and cheaper devices each year. Take a look at what happen with iPhone and porn industry in US. It is how it works. Actually, today in Kathmandu, it is better to have Nokia E90 smartphone with Mero Mobile EDGE than any wired or wi-fi connections. It's faster, it's even cheaper and it's unaffected by daily electricity cuts. Just try. =) On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 11:57 AM, nepbabu.cx <nepbabu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Heya cooper, > > <Lazy monday rants> > > cooper wrote: >> That's good story, but unfortunately desktop systems are obsolete.
