From the BBC: Does Size Matter? →
Ashley Highfield of the BBC asks, “do people want to consume a lot of information on a 3”x2” screen?”
Good question. I think so. If it is context to what they are doing, or adds value to the moment, then people will go to incredible lengths and overcome significant hurdles to access content that helps them in that instant. In that instant, size does not matter, the information does.
But Ashley continues to ask “But if the tide is starting to turn to mobile-IP, what devices will win? Mobile phone, e-readers, £100 Linux laptops, or full blown notebooks?”
Yes, all of the above. I don’t think it will be one device, but a few devices that add to value to our lives. Of course, we will always have our phone on us, so that seems like as good a place as any to start.
