Symbian's David Wood has published his latest Insight article. Number 11 develops a theme that's close to Rafe's heart: the killer app in the smartphone world is choice. I'm not too sure about the 'Generation S' pronouncement though...

"There have already been many different factors propelling interest in smartphones – including gaming, messaging, multimedia, enhanced communications, information retrieval, and digital convergence. The question about killer apps for smartphones tries to tease out of panellists their views about the next big trends – the forthcoming features of smartphones that will drive new waves of increased interest.

It’s a good question. Here’s one of the answers I like to give to it. The real killer app for smartphone will be Choice. I’m not talking about a specific individual application, or a single way of using a smartphone. I’m talking about the fact that users will have much greater ability to choose what to do, using their smartphones. And that will boost smartphone popularity."
