Apple and the 3GSM expo
Neonode has promised to best Apple's iPhone to scores with its upcoming touch-screen phones, even as attendees of next week's 3GSM phone expo ready themselves to directly compare their new phones against Apple's iPhone. A special discussion to be held at 3GSM is an even more telling demonstration of Apple's influence, PC World writes. Dubbed "Mobile Music: The Apple Factor," the conference has been formed solely to talk about the iPhone's effect on music phones and will count a Nokia marketing chief among its guests.
Analyst Nick McQuire of the Yankee Group observed that the discussion was taking place in no small part due to the iPod, as many companies fear that the music player's success could easily translate to strong iPhone sales and erode their own marketshares. "It's difficult to discount the carry-through success that Apple could have in the mobile arena," McQuire said.

Wow!
This is great news, indeed!! Can you imagine the devices we're going to be seeing the next few years?? Admittedly, most will be utter c***, but think of what we can get if one or two competitors stepped up to really give Apple a run for it's money? I'm giddy at the thought!! Apple's kicking so much a**, and they're doing it with no competition, just people imitating their designs. With the iPhone, Apple took it to a new level, so hopefully we get some originality from the other device makers!
The future looks fun!!
