My concern is that Microsoft had better get the lead out, before their "game changer" is common place

If they want to win hearts, and influence minds, they can't second to introduce the new tech!

I wanted Google Ara project to continue so we wouldn't have to change the entire phones but only the parts, but they have suspended the project.

Another Facebook phone? Weren't the last two a resounding flop?

There was the HTC Status that was a quasi-Facebook phone and it flopped. Then came the HTC First which was an unequivocal dumpster fire. Look them up and read about them if you can stand the pain.

IMO, the next big thing in phones is IoT. With so much "digital media" surrounding us, it's easy to forget that we're still living in an analog world. Your average person doesn't have a smart home, or a smart device, or a self driving car, or even a smart <insert blank>. But as smart devices become ubiquitous, a device that can track and control our new IoT life will become a necessity. Even my "smart" Amazon Echo is dependent on a web browser/app to configure the settings.

Plus companies are greedy. So while you may logically be thinking that any phone should be able to control any device. I expect a lot of "exclusive" deals where only phone X will be able to take advantage of some "must have" new feature.

That's my biggest fear... Their device to win back a slice of the market share is taking so long to get to market (not sure if it's a hardware or software issue causing the delay)... That by the time it's released, it will already be available on Android and be a moot point.

nice...they have a movie too. TV show soon. Mark Zuckerberg is either an aspirational guy or only trying to keep up with the Jones'.

Did you know that the Elite X3 is an AT&T certified IoT device? I found this out recently...

I did not know. That's pretty cool.

The more I think about it, I think we are all wrong about the "next big thing" in mobile from MS.

Won't we all be disappointed if it's not what we've built it up to be? Just thinking about how slow MS seems to be at reacting to things lately.... and I can't help but feel that the next big thing MS is betting on isn't a foldable screen, or anything to do with holograms... but simply what's been right in front of us all this time... Simply a phone, that when in continuum, can run x86/64 apps.

I do hope I'm wrong, but I won't be shy to say "I told you so" if that's all MS has up it's sleeve.

Don't think I'll take the blue pill if that's all it is.

I'll take one of those too!

Food for thought. I don't believe in Unicorns either especially in today's day and age where no one can keep a secret.
