I’m on fire!

Genau wie der Herald Tribune, der einem aktuellen Bericht mit den Worten: „War for the 4th screen“ übertitelte. Hier nun einmal die wichtigsten Quotes:

„For functions from e-mail and instant messaging to mobile MySpace and ESPN, computer users are increasingly turning to the „fourth screen“ — the one on their cellphones — which is evolving to adopt more characteristics of the three previous generations of screens: movie, television and computer.“

Exakt. Obwohl ich aus verschiedensten Gründe bislang kein für mich entsprechendes Gerät gefunden habe und die Preisstruktur hier in Deutschland katastrophal ist, wäre ich doch sehr daran interessiert.

„That shift may well be underscored on Tuesday when Steven Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Computer, is expected to unveil an Apple phone representing his company’s new mobile communications strategy — highlighted by a device that may include Jobs-inspired refinements like a sleek ceramic case and a transparent touch screen.“

Do it Steve, do it!

„Industry executives and competitors say that Apple has developed the first of the next generation of devices that are closer to personal computers in pocket form, meaning that they will easily handle music, entertainment, productivity tasks and communications on cellular and other wireless networks.“

Oh ja, Oh ja.

„But while Apple quickly dominated the music-player category after it introduced the iPod in 2001, its challenge with a phone would be far more difficult.“

Habe ich doch schon vor so langer Zeit geschrieben.

„Whatever his business strategy, Jobs is certain to have an impact. Recently, he told two associates, who asked not to be identified to avoid damaging their relationship with him, that he was more excited about his current project than he was about the Macintosh.“

Ohne weitere Worte.
