Making all this more interesting, of course, are all the predictions that Android will be the dominate mobile phone OS in a few years. This means there will be millions of more Linux users on the planet!
Yea!
Says google :s
Personally I prefer Nokia due to free licensing for commercial products using QT. But then, I'm more than likely a minority. I have no predictions, except that soon this little device we all carry around will do more and more crazy things like be able to program our household appliances etc. Act as a TV/DVD/Console game remote. Change our Air-Con temps. Start our cars (maybe not that one, would be painful loosing a phone, and then loosing a car as a result). Make phone calls, no wait it does that already. OK I'm out of ideas.
