It’s been more than a half decade since our mobile phones started to come with a digital camera and an mp3 player. However, so far they have all looked like a mobile phone. There were some PDA-looking phones which offered better office and web capabilities. However, if you weren’t a businessman or businesswomen then there was no way that you would carry one of these. Even if you had one, there was no way that you would expose them. But why not? Simply because you were cool!

Well, I think we are all about to start to redefine both the meaning and the look of being cool. Recently, Apple announced their long-waited phone iPhone. It is not just a phone; it is an iPod, a digital camera, an organiser, a web browser, a googleMap, an email client and more. Ohh, I almost forgot: of course, it is really “cool”.

When I look at it, it becomes so obvious to me that the future is going to be the Web. Goodbye to all PCs, digital cameras, mp3 players, mobile phones, PDAs etc. Whatever the names of the devices are going to be, they will all serve for one purpose: connecting us to Web. They will all connect us to our friends, favourite music, emails, photos, diaries, etc.

We will be all connected to the “Web”.
