14 DAY TRIAL // My music collection is taking up more and more space, and that shouldn't be much of a problem unless my home's surface wouldn't stay the same, and there's nothing to do to change that at this time, but an interesting solution may come from Apple. Before the iPod, thinking about fitting a large music collection inside a gadget the size of a packet of cigarettes was almost crazy, but today that's a reality that doesn't make too many people go "wow" in amazement.
One of the reasons for which I don't collect much video content is the size of high quality video files, and I know I am not the only one to think that way, but just look up and think a little: don't you think the history can repeat itself? If the iPod did it once, it can do it again, and even Google says the same!
At the FT World Communications Conference, Nikesh Aurora, Google's VP of European operations, said exactly this: "In 12 years, why not an iPod that can carry any video ever produced?". Leaving the iPod behind, Arora thinks that the mobile phone is going to follow the same path, saying that "The mobile industry has to go through the same phases the Internet has gone through...Mobile will have the same learning curve.", so expect for the best from iPod and Iphone!
Google has started expanding its ad sales business to the mobile world already, after signing deals with mobile operators in Asia and Europe, so the path for the Internet and mobile world to follow together has been opened! Stay tuned, because I am sure we'll have a lot to talk about on this subject in the next decade...
