The Future of Cell Phones
Cell phones probably will not look any different in the future,
but what they will be capable of doing will significantly
change. By the year 2010, 85% of U.S. households will own mobile
phones. Here are some examples of what future cell phones will
do:
High Speed Data Acess. Imagine your Cell phone browsing the
internet at DSL speed. Browsing the internet on your cell phone
is nothing new, but DSL speed would be.
Video Cameras - This technology is actually already here. While
currently a cell phone camera may have limited capabilities,
it's only a matter of time for it to exceed and surpass the
performance of astand alobe video camera, although there is some
concern over somebody being videotaped without their consent.
Watching TV or movies - Provides live streaming television
content for mobile phones. Everyone who has seen this demo
nstrated in person is amazed at the quality as well as the
experience. "The video quality is very, very watchable and quite
enjoyable" says Marilyn Pearce of Chicago who has seen the
MobiTV's streaming video. . So expect entire 30 minute video
clips to soon become reality.
Fuel Cell - Battery life often holds tech products back, and
fuel cells could provide a boost. Fuel cells are like tiny
engines that generate power through chemical reactions. If you
need more power, you put in more "gas" -- in most cases, a
mixture of methanol, or wood alcohol, and other chemicals. The
methanol will likely be housed in a replaceable cartridge, much
as printer ink is.
Manufacturers and service providers watch these new advances
closely so they are not caught short of what the consumer wants.
A lot of this technology already exists but has not yet been
widely accepted. But that is just a matter of time.
Cell phone carriers have truly embraced the multimedia
revolution and decided to make our life cell phone centric. With
technology like MP3, Video streaming and photography
consolidated into these small devices, you can expect cell
phones to become the only piece of electronic on us at all
times. Play music, store all your images, carry all your medical
records, GPS navigational information, if you dial 911 you can
be tracked, check in at the airport., TV broadcasts, use it to
entertain your children while you drive, web shopping... Is
there anything a cell phone will not be able to do apart from
making a warm plate of 'angel hair marinara' ?
