It's popular these days to talk about a decline in U.S. innovation and competitiveness.  Because of this, it's nice to see examples of U.S. companies winning. 

John Dovorak's The U.S. Smartphone Revolution at PCMag.com describes the ascendancy of the U.S. smartphone industry, which he describes as  "one of the great tech come-from-behind victories ever."

I agree.  As Dvorak points out, it wasn't that long ago that the cell phone industry was often used as an example of the decline of America.  

The shift to smartphones and mobile computing has changed this.  Innovative U.S. companies are now clear leaders and according to Dvorak "... within just a few years the entire market will consist of varieties of smartphones, whose designs and operation were all invented in the U.S. and Canada."

Dvorak focused on the smartphone industry, but we think U.S. computing leadership is much more extensive.  U.S. companies are leaders in all of the major next generation computing trends - mobile, social, cloud and analytics. 

Each of these technology trends are important and powerful in their own right.  But these trends and technologies are also converging and reinforcing one another, amplifying their impact and fundamentally changing how business is done. 

Put more simply, work is moving to the cloud and innovative U.S. firms are leading the revolution
