Gregor: "Looks like Google is trying to sort that problem by being device independent."
I would consider Google voice and skype as the first wedge between the carriers and hardware. The only reason a particular phone might be 'associated' with a single carrier is to leverage as much money from your pocket as possible. As soon as we have portability they lose control. And its going to happen one way or the other. However I think that is only a small, albeit important, part of the how the interaction story will play out in the long term. We as designers have some very interesting times/challenges ahead. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/race_to_data_portability_google_chrome_vs_mozilla.php /pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
