I recently came across a post on Ali Jatoi’s blog, and found it very interesting. The article talks about PhoneBlok, which is a new product designed to revolutionize the concept of cell phones and the features that they come with. PhoneBlok allows its user to customize his or her phone according to their specific needs and/or interests.
I think that this is an amazing idea because not only does it provide flexibility; it also offers a unique perspective to how mobile and smart phones are able to function. I personally put more weight on the camera quality when considering which phone to purchase. Sometimes, I find one with an astonishing camera but is lacking an attractive operating system. With PhoneBlok, one will no longer need to worry because if you don’t like something, you always have the option of changing it!
On a business note, I think that this would pose a great threat to major companies such as Apple and Samsung. The cellular world is constantly changing, with slide phones being the hottest trend, to qwerty keyboards and now touch screens. It is innovative companies like these that will rise to the occasion and give the bigshots a run for their money.
