A new Steve Ballmer interview has been published on the Microsoft Germany website. In it he talks (in English) about technology trends.
In Part 3, the ultimate question is asked – Is there going to be one total convergence device? He talks about it being possible and then gets asked ‘How close are we.’ Steve then picks up an HTC shift.! I agree with what he says – that a convergence device will be possible but people wont necessarily choose one device. Marketing departments won’t let that happen either. As Malcolm Gladwell might say, there’s no perfect convergence device, only perfect convergent devices. (Watch this excellent video for an explanation.)
Steve also confirms that it will be available ‘later this year in Germany and around the world.’ YouTube conversion of part of the video below:
