Smartphone growth patterns...

I believe Google has this right, but think all of them are wrong in thinking it will take until 2020 for mobile device applications to saturate. The web for small screens is what should happen, can you really invision yourself paying for apps constantly? The iPhone and other smartphones are neat, but the Opera browser on my son's Nintendo DSi works very well with no monthly costs at all. If these guys don't pay attention my next phone may well be a Nintendo DSi (2?) with Skype.
