Cellular and Computing Industries Finally Collide

magarity writes "For years now cell phones have become increasing complex as computers become ever smaller. The two industries now directly collide. Of special interest is the change in mission statement by Microsoft from 'a computer on every desk and in every home' to 'empowering people through great software, any time, any place and on any device.' With mobile phone saturation in the industrialized world from +80% (Italy) to 45% (USA), this is the next battleground for information technology dominance. Both industries have giant sized players; the shakeouts, as well as implications for consumers, will be huge."

That's a good article. It's also a week old. You have to do it faster.

Woah, cool. It must be "say sensationalist bullshit and get modded up" day at /.

Lemme try one: It's my constitutional and god-given right to burn MGS2 and give it to my friends to play on their modded ps2's while watching porn using an illegal cable descrambler. Any organization that attempts to stop me is stepping on my rights and needs to be obliterated.

Hey..I feel the karma already.
