Converged Products: Week of 7/2/06
The most convenient way that mobility is getting built into products is through the convergence of capabilities that previously existed as standalone products into the cellphone. That way, those products are now with you and available for your use whenever you need them wherever you go.
- Cellphone as self-subscribed coupon
- Cellphone as a Pocket PC (without giving up it’s phone-ness)
- Cellphone as NetFlix
- Cellphone as satellite radio
- Cellphone as 3Mp camera
- Cellphone as 2Mp camera, MP3 player, GPS navigator, and game machine (the pro-convergence phone)
- The anti-convergence phone: a cellphone with as little as possible
