On the one hand, we are all waiting for Apple to come up with The Innovation, A Big Idea. On the other, no one is making the big move into mobile health care solutions, into really interacting with the huge databases, not only accessing images, for example, or providing basic PDA functionality. Health care soloutions are seen as a vertical market not as attractive as gaming or other consumer applications. This has hampered the development of mobile devices, and hardware in particular. IBM, for its own part, is deeply involved in the health care field, but again not doing much with mobile solutions. And you can count with the fingers of one hand the mobile devices on the market that could actually succeed, and iPhone is one of them. The open secrets of the health care sector are huge market potential, highly motivating work, and of course good margins.
