The iPhone represents two major transformations, one is speech recognition. (know the other?)
One of the selling points to smartphones is the QWERTY keyboard. Will speech recognition technology eliminate the need for them?
When word processing was introduced, it was the beginning of the end of handwriting.
Can you think of the last time you wrote anything of length on sheet of paper?
Google is blending the PC with the mobile phone, and will be creating another revenue stream for keywords
NY Times has a story about Google, iPhone and Machines That Listen
Google’s new speech recognition service for the iPhone, understands you most accurately when you speak to it just the way you enter queries into the Google search box. It may even signify an inflection point — speech recognition that is more useful than typing.
Not only will Apple (using Google's technology) transform search on a mobile, but imagine the other applications that will change with this speech recognition technology (text messaging, email, location based services).
(second transformation)
In addition to transforming the way we use a mobile phone, Apple also disrupted the entire remote device space, when they incorporated sensing technology (accelerometer).
What other industries will benefit from this?
