It'll probably be big in the east, at least initially. The concept of being
able to carry your data, settings (personalisation), and apps around, _as
well as_ play music on the go, is that vision of running your PC from an
iPod (circa 2004-2005). Instead of computer as a relic or the network is the
computer, all just sits there in your pocket, so you only need to rent some
hardware. What's in your pocket can also be accessed as though it was a PDA,
but access then takes a minimal form. Ultimately, our phones could become a
PC, or at least what drives it. The network might complement this and, being
a phone, it'll synchronise with what's in the pocket.
How does Windows (or even Mac OS) fit into all of this? For Linux, it is
already a natural fit.
