  • One Billion People Will Own SmartPhones: Market Analysis

Think about what you want from your technology. Many people own very high spec devices and dont use more than the most basic functions. I am on my third device and have gone back to a fairly basic Nokia candybar - but for me the important thing is it syncs my calendar and contacts to my Mac - thats all I need! I dont need mobile internet, GPS or email - I can get these easily and cheaply in other ways. The price of iPHone and others is a lot if you average out over the data plans - its not trivial.

I have always loved and owned smartphones, but I don't see how I'll ever get rid of the DS and other handheld devices. Until I installed Evernote on my iPhone I still took notes on post-its.

No desire at all to own a 'smart' phone. It's too expensive and too flashy. As long as my cell phone can make and get calls, that's all I care about! Good luck to the other 3,999,999,999 people that own cell phones and want them, though!

I love my iPhone. My husband has the new htc Hero, which is pretty darned awesome I think. I wouldn't trade him, but it's a pretty cool smartphone.
