Daily updates on what I’m reading
- Smartphones Market – CLIP: "For more from Tomi this is a 30min video that makes the case for the next 4billion users and more importantly reinforces the opportunity just around the corner. Some great examples and sound bites. Yes the mobile is the future. This also seems to reflect Nokia’s analysis re banking, SMS, MMS etc. Good numbers and worth sharing as part of the background to his share / competitive analysis.
Comments:
* The ChinaPhone will continue to grow across markets. These phones are likely to steal share – particularly from Nokia in India. They are becoming branded. Dual-Sim also plays a role.
* GPS initiatives like latest OviMaps may help Nokia in some markets. Although until it enables social connections in new ways it alone won’t be a compelling reason to buy Nokia vs say Samsung or switch back.
* Samsung is appropriately identified as going for world domination. I like their latest touch screen phones.They appear to be two years ahead of Nokia roughly in product cycle."
