Personally speaking, Bots is one core reason that I can't see myself going to another mobile platform just yet. Yes, there are mobile platforms where you can download a 3rd party application, and then program it to do this or that given certain parameters. It is another thing for the device to "learn" and "adapt" without much user attention being taken. If you will, there's no need to train because the platform is built to learn from the outset.

This is what is meant by devices being smart, and I welcome it - as long as we can see it implemented in small steps (at least at first).
I would love to see Nokia port bots across to maemo, or for similar functionality to be coded.

This is exactly where I see things going, and I think that it is very exciting, that systems can learn and adapt to how we use them.
