The future of cellular phones.....

The future of cellular phones, will there even be a future containing cell phones? Like I posted in an earlier post, everything is getting smaller and that contains the cellular phone business as well, but I think that we have entered a new era in the cell phone industry. I remember when Ericsson released their Ercisson hotline phone, it was black with orange buttons and it was very, very big. After the years have gone by, the cell phones have gotten smaller and smaller, with more and more gadgets and in them. We have gone from enormous phones to small ones, from black and white screens to color screens, from only being able to print in your number to small personal computers, the development have gone by very fast. But now I believe that we have entered a new era.

The cell phones have gotten bigger again, I mean look at the iphone and compare that one to Nokias smallest one. The big difference is that we have entered a new trend where the phones are all getting touch screens. The result of that is that the phones can´t be too small. So where are we heading. Will the phones keep on going getting bigger or will the small phones return, will we like I said even have any cell phones?

I think that we will always have cell phones, but that it will go in a two way direction. One way will be cell phones that are in a quite normal size, like the iphone, that will contain enormously many gadgets and stuff, and one direction where the phones will be as small as the Bluetooth headsets. I also think that the future phones will contain many more things than the phones we have today. The phones will be like a computer. That we have today but a think that we will be able to do all the things that we can do in the computer. Maybe we will have a combined phone and paying system. We might be able to pay with our phone, and maybe be able to do money transfers.

Maybe we can have Bluetooth headsets that can connect with your phone from a long distance, for example, when you´re going to town for some shopping and you don´t want to carry your phone with you, then you can leave the phone at home and only bring the Bluetooth headset with you which can connect to your phone at home. There are a lot of maybe´s, we can never now what will happen, but some predictions won’t hurt……

That´s all for now….
