future of eBook? IPhone! but not in the US

After observing the new tide of cell phone novel (in case you haven't heard of the term, please read this wired article).

Similar trend is catching up in Finland and other European countries. So the natural guess is, IPhone is gonna be the next generation of media for novels, and ebook in general.

It will happen almost all around the world, except US.

Why no US, the birth country of IPhone? Because majority people in US still prefer driving in their daily commute, while people in other parts of the world uses public transportation.

That's why satellite radio thrives in US, but video broadcasting over 3G cell phone network will never become mainstream.

So unless the giant oil companies and automobile companies stop lobbying against public transportation, we will never see an IPhone novelist award in US.
