It is not saying anything new to point out that the iPhone changed the way we thought about and interacted with smart-phones. In the years following the Android phones brought us a vision of what a cloud-centric phone OS on many vendors hardware could provide if it was well supported. And the Palm webOS phones showed us what intuitive multi-tasking and a great notification system could provide.

With the improvements to the hardware and software over the two following years of iPhones and their respective software we got most the features we could want. I assume some sort of multi-tasking is coming in the 4th iteration. So we have reached a place where the revolution has evolved to a mature place of mobile-specialized OS’s and great hardware.

But where is the next revolution? I don’t think it is in the tablet space, which is being heralded as the next big consumer computing cash-cow. I think at least the next big evolution, or progression would be context-aware computing and inter-computer interaction.
( Long rambling about phones with diagrams! )
Now, my question to you smart-phone users out there; What is your beef with how your PC and phone interact? What would improve that? And, would any of this help you use a phone or a tablet in a more effective and satisfying way? Or is it just me who doesn’t like the way things are now?
