WhiteMagic looks like an awesome innovation.
Schmidt is correct technology will advance and yes $400 phones of today will cost $20 or free but only because there will be a new tech they are charging $400. There was a report that iphones cost something like $33 so that will not change high end new tech will still be expensive
Yes, $400 phones of today will be far less years from now, only to replaced at that time by other phones that cost $400. There will always be a premium for state-of-the-art hardware.
Most smartphones (including the iPhone) cost around $200 to make. Definitely not $33…
Verizon can suck it with the locked bootloaders.
