You know how Wall Street types sometimes say they knew the housing bubble was gonna crash when they heard their barber owned three houses?

Here’s the corollary for the smartphone market.

The Mobile World Congress starts in Barcelona in a couple of days and one of the big product roll-outs is gonna be a smartphone made by Caterpillar.

Right, the big yellow construction machinery making Caterpillar.

Cool part is, it’s gonna have an infrared camera on it.
