What's Happened In Mobile Over the Past 10 Years

Posted by timothy on from the oh-nothing-much dept.

andylim writes "recombu.com has an article examining what's happened in mobile over the past ten years, including BlackBerry launching its first smart phone in 2002, Motorola launching the Razr in 2004 and Apple launching the iPhone in 2007. As a commenter points out, the first camera phone (Sharp J-SH04), which was released in 2000, featured a 110,000-pixel (0.11MP) CMOS image sensor, and a 256-colour (8 bit) display."

    Oddly enough, the "bazillion-pixel camera" still takes crappy, "cell phone"-quality pictures.

    What's happened is that countries without legacy copper and overbearing telcos have leapfrogged the US in terms of, well....pretty much everything mobile.

    But it's difficult to keep up with the mobile market, it's such a moving target !
