Yet another MWC got over. A record 60,000+ visitors, 1400+ booths and all that. Though I expected that the recently announced Nokia-Microsoft deal would be a dominant theme amongst visitors, I was wrong. It was Android, Android and some more Android. Sign of things to come.
Lets look at the keynotes of Google and Microsodt CEO. The first keynote speech was delivered by the outgoing Google Chairman and CEO, Eric Schmidt (watch the video here). He starts off by claiming Android is the fastest growing smartphone computer. With hundreds of devices and over 150,000+ apps, there is no need to validate his claim. With advances in hardware and data networks, he feels the next big thing would be cloud computing. He reminds that the smartphone sales has over taken PC sales (An year ago he thought it would take 2 years). He said that the futures is for masses and not for elites as information access is no more the privilege of a few elites.
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer in his keynote (video here) said that WP7 would be the most-operator friendly platform and would be good not just for Nokia, but for all. Stephen Elop talks about the Synergy between Nokia and Microsoft (OS features that are operator friendly, development tools for developers from Microsoft and all these combined with Nokia's strength is Industrial Design and Hardware).
Now, let us look at some new devices, starting with Samsung.
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II seemed to attract a lot of people. LG also had several new devices, including Optimus 3D. The LG Optimus Black is an Android smartphone, packing a new NOVA display. Sony Ericsson had XPERIA Play. HTC announced 5 new devices and a tablet. Motorola showcassed its Atrix smartphone powerhouse and PRO QWERTY bar. Here is the complete list of new devices.
