Today, I attended a review of the recent CTIA show, at the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley. It was a good way to learn about all of the significant news from the show, without having to travel and stay at a hotel for two days...
A few fun facts drove very exciting discussions. First, the US now has more cellular connected devices than people. about 330M devices vs 300M population. Unlike other parts of the world, where many people have two phones, or phones with two SIM cards, the US population demonstrates a faithful commitment to their mobile service providers? So, where do these mystery devices come from? It turns out that cellular connected tablets, cars and Kindles now make the difference!
Second, the value or Siri is becoming more apparent as users take advantage of its features. The deep integration of Siri into iOS enables all applications to take advantage of Siri capabilities vs. running a separate application. I have not tried Siri myself yet. If you have, please post a comment and let us know what you think.
Happy mobility!
