All-In-One Wins

The bell curve is getting sharper.
The rise and fall of devices is accelerating.
Product universes expand and collapse at ever faster rates.
It’s the Law of Accelerating Returns!

Product design is now fashion.
Last year’s neon shoes now suck.

In 2 or 3 years nobody will carry a compact camera with them.
Cameras will be used only by professional photographers and enthusiasts.
Mobile phone cameras will be just as good as today’s point and shoots, and will get better with each passing year.

Who is going to buy a stand-alone device when you can have it all on your phone?
Nobody wants to carry around multiple devices when you can have it all in one pocket.
The all-in-one device takes the cake.

If I were Navigon, Magellan, Canon, Nikon, etc. I’d be thinking about partnering with some mobile people.
Times change, companies evolve.
Nintendo started out making playing cards!

TomTom is fast.
Good for them.
