Being connected...

I've stopped being surprised at the penetration of smart devices in the lives of people in NZ. I can't recall the last feature phone I saw in active use - you know, the old nokia's which just made calls and texted - and every widget I see now is a shipping, youtubing, app fuelled smart monster slurping data like its so much calling airtime.
It's really clear that the widget is king, and how you connect is becoming so much a simple rate war, with little in the way to differentiate providers. Such is competition I guess.
The fragmented nature of android can't be good. Samsung has nailed the experience, and can premium charge as a result - undercutting Apple but well over LG, HTC and the other dwarves. Meanwhile smartphones are morphing into mega tablets and getting ever bigger.
2013 should be fun, for this part of life anyway!
