A few perspectives...

The confluence of these three factors (computing, connectivity and the cloud) means your phone is your alter ego, an extension of everything

we do. Here, right now, we understand the new rule is 'mobile first' in everything. Our job is to make mobile be the answer to everything.”�

Eric Schmidt, CEO�

“�

“Apple is a mobile devices company. This is what we do.”�

Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes. ”�

We did not enter the search business, they entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them…�

Former rivals forge new alliances.

“Nokia and Microsoft, at one time bitter rivals in the wireless industry, announced their alliance last August, with the goal of integrating their products to reach a larger audience and regain lost market share from BlackBerry maker RIM, Apple's iPhone and smartphones running Google's Android mobile operating system.” �

Is it really any surprise what we carry most?

Mobile is ubiquitous...

It’s our 2nd shadow and an extension of who we are.

We take it wherever we go...

And, yes...

even here.

“91% of the planet keep the mobile phone within arm’s reach 24/7. It is literally the last thing we look at before � we go to sleep and again the first thing we see when we wake up.”�

! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !- Morgan Stanley, 2007 �

Mobile is rarely shared...

It’s mobile.

It’s mobile. It’s social...

Let’s take a break and rewind. (Q: How did we get here?)

to understand the present.
