Putting The Phone Back In The iPhone

That’s what Sequoia’s Mark Kvamme would like to see. Because until that happens, nobody is going to win the mobile platform war, certainly not Apple.

Noting that the iPhone sucks as a phone, a comment that elicited the first real applause of the day at OMMA Global in San Francisco, Kvamme said he’s probably the only guy in the room still using a Palm Pixsy. He uses it, he says, because he can actually hold a phone signal. And the developer or hardware company who can come up with a smart “phone” that can actually be used as a really good phone, a text/email messaging system, and an app platform will win. Big time.
