The burden of mind-set

Gotta say that yesterday I realized how much some lines of thought were ingrained in me.

Today, some of my pet ideas, so well received by others, kinda fell flat in some discussions. Only later did I realize why.

You might remember that I have been quite focused on services for simple voice and SMS only phones. It was natural, seeing that the vast majority of phones were like that, especially in emerging markets.

But, as you can imagine, the folks who make the amazing ‘Multimedia Computers’, the amazing Nseries phones, the folks who work at Nokia Multimedia are not constrained in that way at all. D’oh!

Yes, I need to do a bit of a deep brain reset to realign my head once more with what one can do when one has a super-duper mobile thingamagig in your pocket, hands, desk, wherever.

While an independent service provider usually thinks of the largest market, as a product creator for Multimedia, you know that by definition, all your customers have a certain kind of device: yours.

That said, it’s time to let the mind soar.
