The developments in mobile phone (cell) technology, just over the last 10 years have been staggering. Many people can still remember the phones that resembled large bricks and yet only had screens the size of a stamp. Nowadays however everything is touch screen and interactive. You can download videos to watch on your phone, get real-time news fed into it and even use it as a satellite navigation device.The mobile phone is not stopping there however, many believe that it will continue to have more technology incorporated into it and will soon be the only gadget people will need.

Richard Kane, technology researcher at the University of Bath recently gave his opinion on how mobile phones will advance. “ I predict that very soon all the requirements of the modern way of life will be served by phones…technology is getting smaller thanks to things like mini Deutsch connectors and people are becoming ever more mobile, so it make sense that people want to carry their life in their pocket”.

Phones now incorporate MP3 players and as memory in phones is expanding all the time, 1000s of songs can be stored, making an additional MP3 player unnecessary. The cameras in phones now are catching up normal digital cameras, and can offer mega pixel specs of up to 10.0, have a whole host of different shooting functions and again, can easily store whole photo albums. You can even browse the internet as easily as you would do on our home computer, and in fact the number of people using their phones to surf is increasing by around 100% each year.

Lots of technology enthusiasts have stated that whitest phones have come on a long way, they cannot compete with large TVs or computer screen displays. Nokia have silenced these critics to some extent recently when they bought out a phone that could project a screen size of up to 45 inches onto the nearest wall. It seems like it’s out with home entertainment units and cable ties, and in with nana processers and micro fan accessories, powering some of the most power bits of kit the world has ever seen.
