Blackberry #1, iPhone #2

The Blackberry has recently overtaken the iPhone as the number one smartphone in the U.S. market.

This just makes me wonder what will come next to replace the Blackberry and other devices like it. There always have to be something to replace what we have now. When Microsoft came up with Vista, many people disliked it because it was different, new and complicated at first. Microsoft had to come out with a new application to keep up with other companies. Was Vista better than what Microsoft previously had? It doesn't matter. A few years from now Microsoft will come up with something to replace Vista once the public is comfortable and have just figured out the Vista program.


It's amazing to think of the technological advances made in the last 20 years, let alone the last 100.

What other applications would you need that isn't already on a smartphone. I don't have one, mainly because a laptop and a simple cell phone is enough for me. If I did have an iPhone, I would maybe use a small percentage of all the functions that are available.

What will come next in televisions now that all stations will broadcast in HD starting early in 2009. While it has taken considerably longer for televsion to transition out of an analog signal, it is almost impossible to image something coming along 50-100 years from now to replace HDTV. But one thing is for certain; it will happen.
