>Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution.

Evolution is how we got from primitive sea creatures to man.

>What do you think will bring the next revolution in personal computing and communications?

I think that there have not been many revolutions in personal computing and communications. It's all incremental evolution. The only actual big revolution was the invention of the digital computer and of networking.

Beyond that, well:

There were computers at homes before everybody got one.

There were mobile phones, even touch phones, before the iPhone and mp3 players before the iPod.

There were tablets before the iPad.

There was "internet" and "www" (ARPAnet, minitel etc) before the internet and the world wide web.

There were social networks before Facebook.

Heck, there were actually newspaper columns chronicling a person's opinions and everyday life before blogs.
