[Teoría] Se trata de seguir la pista a la idea de que los gadgets, los dispositivos, los móviles, serán cada vez menos concentradores de tecnologías y serán, cada vez más, concentradores de servicios. Por tanto compraremos cacharros que nos den a cambio contenidos y servicios más que si son tal cual y no se qué. Hoy todos nos dan características estandarizadas por los usos y, en el futuro cercano, lo que los van a diferenciar son los contenidos y los servicios que ofrecen, es decir, su integración fácil a sitios Web o canales de contenidos. A propósito de esta pista, ver como ejemplo, las cámaras de la empresa americana DGC, la DXG-567V, que graba vídeos en Alta Definición y los sube a YouTube y a cualquier otro sitio que le indiques por defecto, como Vimeo HD o Blip.tv. Su precio es de 115€ y con un tamaño muy compacto.
