Nothing lasts forever but hopefully USA will last a long time, at least several millenia. :)

I think the mighty super power U.S of A is also all set to lose out the "super power" tag to other emerging countries. ?? Mobile market is too crowded and probably would not witness a monopoly since there's too many parameters in play. Hope Android keeps its sanity in all these troubled times. take care, Muthu Ramadoss. http://linkedin.com/in/tellibitz +91-9840348914 http://androidrocks.in - Android Consulting.

At one point, someone may have said that the ROMAN EMPIRE had won the world, but that didn't last. Neither did the British Empire. Neither will MS, which has been steadily losing market share from a peak of about 97.5% (six years ago) down to the current 88% -- this is counting operating systems only. They're far further behind when it comes to other popular software, like web browsers (70%), web servers (32%), and office software (<80%).

Before it was the TV that people (at least in the U.S.) watched "all the time". Now it's the PC or Laptop. I think Mobile can go both ways. You can draw them in or draw them out. That's a scary proposition. Look at Google. They were and are a success in search because they lessened the time of the search. They got a clean-looking page without all the ads. So the Apps that seek to draw people out into the real world may be the most succesful apps of all. - Juan T.
