Communications Revolution is About to Happen

The communications device market is about to enter a revolutionary stage. Samsung is singing the blues and Apple is falling flat on their latest devices.

Not that each doesn't make really cool little devices, they just happen to be in a more mature phase of the product life cycle. Too much competition will slow sales and lower profit margins. There's no way around it.

For Apple, this was an opportunity. But post Jobs, is there a "next best thing" in the labs? The good news is that a couple of kids in a garage are working on the next big thing. And it won't be an incremental enhancement that ships form that garage. It will be amazing, a device that most of us haven't thought of or couldn't. Alternately, those kids might have access to a university lab and are implanting chips in unfortunate rats or clipping on earrings that talk to their brains. Or maybe a little of both is going on from here to Romania. Maybe Samsung or Apple will notice and make an acquisition. Either way, we all win and the economy restarts... until the tax man stalls it again.
