    New phone operating systems, new app store from the big phone carriers, new app store from competitors from Europe.

    The mobile computing and telephony market is shaping up to be very exciting.

    What at you guys looking forward to?

    I’m waiting for HSDPA (3G) to become fast enough so I no longer need wireline broadband. As it it now, I just tether my mobile phone to my laptop instead of paying the hotel fees for wifi.

    The iPhone is the best right now, but I also want to see some serious competition.

    I’m also looking forward to the new Windows 7 phones.

    I’m pretty anti-Verizon and Sprint because you cannot change handsets by moving the sim card. Makes it hard to play with their phones.

    More importantly, do you think all the tech investments will pay off? How much more are consumers and businesses willing to pay for the additional services.

    How much extra per month are you willing to pay for data services?

    what I’m looking forward to is more work, more business, and hence, more money for me. The more chaotic/fragmented the smartphone market it in terms of competing technologies, the better off I am :). I would be dead in the water if Apple was the only game in town. Clearly, it is not.

    The U.S. market is/will be secondary, since smart phone usage here is not nearly as popular as overseas.

    And so long as WinMobile depends on a stylus to do anything, it’s a big fail in my book in terms of usability. BTW, isn’t this the Nth Win Mobile core team in MSFT after the pretty much fired the previous team (again)?

    I think in that environment, the consumer is also better off because of the choices.
