  1. A lot of the ideas you mentioned have kinda been tried and failed already. The reason why UWP didn't take off is because no one wants to use windows on an already computationally weak mobile device, and it's buggy, and there was almost no support for it, so windows phones were a bust. Voice controlled/AI assistant controlled services haven't taken off because the tech just isn't there yet. Although it may be feasible to train an AI for this purpose for a single user, marketting a full service for it has proved difficult as AI is still very prone to hallucinations. modular hardware hasn't taken off because locking users into ecosystems and charging exhorbitant amounts to repair tends to be more profitable. "convergence" isn't ideal as a consumer because my desktop PC is physically 10x or even 100x more powerful than some phone could ever be. On top of that, my desktop workload tends to have little to no overlap with my phone workload that isn't already available via the cloud. As wishful as all of this sounds, the tech and whatnot just isn't there yet, even six years later

  2. Web apps could replace apps, but developers have to build in the functionality into those apps. Like WhatsApp doesn't have a web app, but it could. Usually, developers want you to use their app, not a web app.

  3. It’s so interesting looking back over 4 years later where apple dominates the smartwatch industry particularly with the health community and younger generation and smart speakers have become a normal part of a home yet the hot swapible phones and turning a phone into a tablet or pc has really died down and didn’t go that far except maybe Samsung dex. It’s always hard to predict what will catch on and that’s what I got from this, that you can’t see the future. At the time the Apple Watch would have only been on its 2nd generation yet I saw a significant increase starting around the series 5 where it was becoming part of everyday life to have a smart watch. The universal app support was spot on with iOS apps now being able to run on macs either ported for intel or automatically with M1.

  4. Google start b!tching nowadays, Microsoft, Here Map, Nokia, Jolla & Huawei needs to collab to build new true open source Linus mobile os & map service & Youtube alternative to beat Android domination

  5. > The same app can not only run on multiple device types, but also on multiple operating systems, which is quite impressive
    7:24 Well, Google has taken that to an extreme with Flutter 2, which can now use a single codebase for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, ChromeOS, and even the web!

  6. It's actually very simple: Developers and public acceptance. Windows 10 Mobile could have been a worthy 3rd mobile OS alternative to the Google-Apple duopoly, but the lack of developers interest killed it. That is a shame really because I actually left Android for Windows 10 Mobile since July 2016 and still using it as my daily driver to this day. Definitely happy with the switch and not regretting it at all.
