For the first time in a long time, two American companies are driving innovation and leading one of the planet’s most important industries. The first half of 2012, I flew more than 60,000 miles, searching for interesting tech stories for ReadWriteWeb, including stops in Korea, Japan, Iceland, Spain, Germany and Silicon Valley. The biggest meta-trend I’ve observed: How two U.S. companies, Apple and Google, stand tall as the world’s most influential mobile companies, leading one of the planet’s most important industries. It wasn’t always this way. Now five years after the first iPhone debuted and almost four years since Android launched, it is easy to forget that America was once a mobile-phone backwater.
