The Objective: To Be Objective

The Objective: To Be Objective
We could describe some parts of this book as “on piste,” others as “off piste.” The on
piste parts describe what is�"the present status of handset and network hardware and
software. Other parts set out to describe what will be. From experience, we know that
when authors speculate about the future, the result can be intensely irritating. We
argue, however, that you do not need to speculate about the future. We can take an
objective view of the future based on a detailed analysis of the present and the past,
starting with an analysis of device level evolution.
