New technology creates new markets and new opportunities

Submitted by acohill on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 08:11

Sirius XM has introduced something I might consider buying--it's a dock for an iPhone/iPod Touch. As I've said repeatedly, I don't want more gagdgets in my life. I have too many already. I want fewer, more capable pieces of technology. I've avoided a satellite radio because my car does not have one built in, and I have not wanted another one trick gadget in the car with another charger and cables taking up space. But this little dock is brilliant--it plugs into the 12 volt adapter in your car, charges your iPhone, and turns your touchpad iPhone into a Sirius/XM radio.

This devices highlights the brilliance of the iPhone as the first open cellphone platform (Apple now has competition from Google's Android phone and Palm's Pre). The iPhone as a platform rather than a dedicated phone has created new business opportunities, and by extension, new jobs.
