Watching continnum video demos I realized many things. But the most important thought I got was the question: what does continnum need to do to be a game changer? And then I realized this?
Continuum can be a game changer, but it will need these things to happen:
1) Improve how it works in new ways. So that it can work like wireless connected to network attached smart TVs (the same way tubecast app can directly cast video to my smart TV wiressly). Make it work hardware-less. So that it can be user everywhere you can connect to a smart TV.-
2) Improve quantity and quality of ?universal windows apps?. So than the user can get to work better and get things done faster working in a bigger screen for the smartphone.-
3) Improve cortana functionality. So that the user can get to work more easy and get things done without a keyboard and mouse.-
4) The sum of 3 and 4. Get Cortana to work with windows apps, so that the user can get to control apps with voice commands.-
Those are my thoughts. What I believe to be the things that MS needs to happen to be successful. What I don?t know is how Google and Apple will react to this. Apple is a specific devices company, difficult to see making a copy of continnum, however it could happen and if it does, will get better working apps to this function than MS. Google is more likely to copy and add a continnum-like function to its next android os.-
