Rob Glaser: Superphones are the future of media

RealNetworks Chairman Rob Glaser thinks that the future of media is in information consumed on “superphones” on the go.

In this world he sees five big opportunities:

  1. People want digital persistence: They have an expectation that their content will be available everywhere at any point in time.
  2. People want universal access to content across all devices.
  3. The industry needs to make discovery easy, which means once people have access to digital content, they need to be able to find their stuff and new stuff they will like using semantic data.
  4. There will be new ways to empower social expression and engagement, much in the same way Twitter created a new category of expression and a way to communicate.
  5. The digital revolution will be a global phenomenon.

    Totally agree with #2. People want to be able to access anything from anywhere now– email, Facebook, GPS, Google, whatever. Everyone is willing to spend the extra money just to get a phone with these extra capabilities, for business purposes or whatever. I don't know the last person I met with a cell phone that was JUST a phone, you know? Hard to find nowadays.
