Comments on: Google targets mobile http://www.mobilewebtablet.com/2007/04/26/google-targets-mobile/ It's a phone! No, it's a PC! No, it's a... mobile web tablet!

Apple recently removed the word "computer" from the company name and Google and Yahoo! have both proclaimed their goals of going mobile. One contender that might not be an obvious one is LEGO, who if they play their cards right, very well might be building the future of distributed computing one brick at the time. And then there's the mobile phone manufacturers. And so on. But it's true that we still don't have a de facto standard like MS DOS became for the PC. Most likely it will appear from some place unexpected. The Wal-Mart RFID chips, for example.

One contender that might not be an obvious one is LEGO, who if they play their cards right, very well might be building the future of distributed computing one brick at the time.

And then there’s the mobile phone manufacturers. And so on.

But it’s true that we still don’t have a de facto standard like MS DOS became for the PC. Most likely it will appear from some place unexpected. The Wal-Mart RFID chips, for example.

But there is no one taking the lead, there is no microsoft or google that defines the new grid of communication. Internet was html-based infosystem, now? IP-connected objects, human or nonhuman, sharing application power and sometimes, only sometimes, it's open for others. So the new grid is a new universe, or several. Truly so.
