		<description><![CDATA[Whilst I think Business consumers would be more interested in the creation aspect than non-business owners (and remember, we need to cater for both), the latter will still want a slice of the pie, especially students. I am sure that Google Docs can be implemented easily in a mobile environment, wether the user is online or not.
The most important aspect to consider when developing creation tools for a mobile platform is versatility. People won&#039;t be expecting to be able to Wordart *shudder*, but they do expect to be able to at least edit text and batch files, and can open most data files (eg, non-executable), such as .pdf, and image formats. There are many Open Source ways of doing this, so I am sure it can be done.

From a marketing point of view, the Mozphone (Mozfon? Mozo? Mofonn (lol)?) should not be sold as a smart phone, but as just a phone. This is to avoid the dissapointing results of the G1, which wasn&#039;t really marketed at anyone. The iPhone was a success, as it aimed for the middle market, especially students, which meant that it got a very wide spread of customers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think your two main physical factors for phones come down to size and feedback (i.e. keyboard). While the iPhone touches probably the largest width/height we would want in a phone it does it at the expense of tactile feedback. If you look at it compared to something like the HTC TouchPro2 you are looking at a world of difference on your speed of typing no matter how much practice is involved.

If you find a way to bring that response into the screen equation you can keep thin devices (or thicker with more power under the hood) you now have the best of both worlds or give yourself the space to have it expand like the TouchPro2 and provide more screen space or something which could have the same effect as multiple screens on a computer, having it closed gives you a screen to do work on but if you need to do serious work you slide it out and have that much more real estate to work with.

I think netbooks have a place now but not in a few years. There should be a way to have a device small enough to fit in the pocket but be able in some way to take notes on in class, be used as a remote and video feed for projector presentations, and be able to do on-the-go spreadsheet and word document editing. It&#039;s still nearly impossible on current phones, Google just recently introduced spreadsheet editing for Google Docs on the iPhone which I think is a welcome sign of things to come. Although the lines blur you will probably never be able to do what you can on a 30&quot; monitor computer as quickly in a phone&#039;s physical real estate, but you should be able to do the same tasks whether it be simple on-the-go or being more productive when you have 15 minutes downtime waiting in a restaurant for someone to meet you for a lunch meeting.]]></description>
