Someone Else's Project

The project that was of interest to me was Paul's iPhone and Apple project. It really dealt with how cellphone technology has evolved, and how technologies have converged to create a valuable piece hardware and software. The iPhone became so popular because of the 3g network and the touchscreen, but it can play music, act as a camera, go online, play games, and call people. This idea of combining technologies for entertainment and communications might be later applied to many things, perhaps wrist watches with iPhone capabilities, Tv sets that can surf webs and have phone calls. The iPhone is innovative in this i believe, and although I don't have one, Paul's presentation really open up my eyes to why it has been so popular.
