ThIs year IDC produced a report that describes a new wave in technology development and called it the "Third Platform"

"IDC Predictions 2014: Battles for Dominance — and Survival — on the 3rd Platform"

(Costs $5 but worth a read)

Interestingly, Eric Kelly was interviewed recently

(this one is more expensive $75)

and noted that a leading tech industry analyst in a discussion with IDC, recently referred to what Sphere/Overland are doing as the "third platform". They expected next-generation platforms to emerge from a big industry player, not Sphere/Overland.

Does anyone know who that "leading tech industry analyst" might be??
