It’s time to wrap up the year 2008. It has been a year of change with Obama, Olympic games and fincancial crisis.

• It is also the year when Yahoo said no to Microsoft.
• iPhone really rocked it’s way into the market and changed the focus from Hardware design into Software. The application store now contains more than 10000 applications which is very unique and the os and ui is beautiful. The first iPhone competitors has been released from other vendors and they seems really cool.
• The commercial breakthrough for mobile internet. 3 Sweden has announced that they will gear up to 21mbit during Q2 2009.
• Small cheap $400-notebooks (so called netbooks) got really popular since Intel finally released it’s power effective atom CPU’s.

What happened?

I remember. . .It was really hot in 2006. Mobile TV was the next big thing?

In Korea almost the same amount people as the whole swedish population (8.2 million) has a mobile phone with TV-functionality. In Japan the number is 38 million. It seems to be a really nice ting to have.

In Korea and Japan, they just did it .. ..with their own standards. Korea squeezed in TV broadcasting in the european digital-radio standard (DAB) and created DMB. It seems to work well. The image quality is good and it even works in the bus.

In europe, we tried to agree in one standard. . . .. and failed. .. .at least until now. I hope that we can agree on something soon so I can get my very own swedish mobile-tv enhanced phone.
