Even Steve Jobs didn't know what he had on his hands when he announced the original iPhone as a combination of a mere "three revolutionary products"--an iPod, a cell phone, and a keyboard-less handheld computer. Once Apple introduced the App Store and opened it up to outside developers, however, the iPhone became capable of serving a rapidly growing number of functions--now more than 350,000 and counting. But the iPhone has implications far beyond the phone or gadget market.

nothing too surprising

It's almost like he took a couple of blogs and expanded them to book length form--no great new insights here. There is a good chapter about Apple vs. Google vs. the wireless carriers that is interesting. The author is not a great narrator.

Here's how to harness the great forces of capitalism to save the world from catastrophe.
The forecasts are grim and time is running out, but that's not the end of the story. In this book, Fred Krupp, longtime president of the Environmental Defense Fund, brings a stirring and hopeful call to arms: We can solve global warming. And in doing so, we will build the new industries, jobs, and fortunes of the 21st century.

Interesting information; reads like a list
Revisado: 06-23-08
I was amazed at the ideas some people are working on to develop sources of energy that don't require the use of fossil fuels and resultant increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. There is a huge amount of information here to those with the stamina to get through it.
The problem I had was too much information--too many topics mostly unrelated to one another. Characters came and went in a few minutes with an anecdotal description of their revolutionary idea or start up company. I gave up trying to figure out who was who and listened for the inventions. This book would probably would hang together more coherently as a read rather than a listen.
Even though it is a somewhat tedious, the basic idea of the book, that the free market should be allowed to solve global warming though the trading of carbon credits, comes through convincingly.
