2007 in San Jose, John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins
Caufield & Byers said his prediction is that the cell
phone will be the next PC

Open architectured mobile phone gives consumers
more choices for things to hang on their belts.

Simplicity – The Life of Phone

Simplicity and Openness has become the very critical
issues in designing the future mobile phone
phone. According
to Junko Yoshida, news editor of EE Times, ease of use
has become a "grave issue" in engineering including
mobile phone industry. Designers, she said, must "listen
to the SOS from consumers". Doug Engelhart, inventor
of the computer mouse, considered many options for
navigation on a computer screen but chose the mouse
because it tested best with users, and most importantly,
for its simplicity!
