Where is the industry moving?

Are we becoming more and more fragmented in the mobile phone software world?

People started consolidating towards 1 or 2 smart phone OS world and there you get IPhone and Android and complicated the whole world with their differentiated offerings. We used to think that all smart phone development would move towards Symbian but looks like Nokia's acquition has changed the game here.

Apple has shown that good usable phone and option to user so they can choose what they need on their personal phone.

I was thinking and discussing with guys in my organization that what could be interesting for end users, developers and telcos to add in to the low cost device?

Various things came during the discussion localized UI, location based apps, local search, gaming, news, dynamic idle screen, advertising, mobile banking etc. but all of these things are making things more complicated. 

Innovative UI and option to user so they can choose what they want. That could be the killer on your low cost device.

What is the defination of an innovative UI? Will try to discover more as my discussion progresses.
