Anyway, I have a really good instinct for picking technology winners, and
thus far I put WAP in the same category as MiniDiscs, bubble memory, color
fax machines, and quadraphonic sound. I think the growth area is in:
The MiniDisc died. MP3 is a big business. People wanted the functionality.
The MD is in no way dead. There are MILLIONS of them in Japan and across Asia.
MDs never
took off in the US/Europe, but that doesn't relegate it to the betmax
graveyard. When 1
billion Chinese are recording their MP3s onto MDs and memory sticks, would you
call that
a dead technology?
WAP may die like the other stuff mentioned above. However, people DO want
the functionality - or something like it.
Absolutely. Whatever the technical standard, mobile computing is not going away.
