Motorola Considering Wi-Fi & Touch Screens
by Tyler Knott Gregson | September 11th, 2007What one does, all will do. Right? Maybe not, but after the iPhone launched touch-screen goodness onto the world, it really makes you wonder just how many cell phone companies are going to follow suit in the weeks and months to come. One of those companies that’s already tossing the idea around, is Motorola.
Not only are they pondering the ol’ touch screen introduction, they are also playing with the idea of throwing wi-fi capability into their mobile phones. What one does, all will eventually do, I guess is a little more appropriate. Good thing Motorola has some brains behind their operations because instead of focusing all their time, money and energy on “one stand-out” product, their new global strategy will be to spread out the love, and develop a wide variety of products that will appeal to almost everyone, almost everywhere.
Not a bad idea, if you ask me. The question I am starting to conjure up in my brain, is how long from now will every phone look, feel, and act just like an iPhone? Not that it’d be a necessarily bad thing, but still, will all things eventually merge into one? I hope not.
