Latest Generation of Mini Mobiles
Mobile (cell) phones have been getting smaller ever since they first hit the market. They once resembled hard-back books, and now you can find phones smaller than a pack of chewing gum. However, phones began to take on new more advanced roles such as Internet browsing and being MP3 players, and this led to something of a turnaround for handset sizes. Handsets such as the iphone and other ’smart’ phones did have improved styling, but are considerably larger than many of the previous generation handsets. That said, cell phones could soon be shrinking yet again.
As internet and 3G connectivity gets quicker all the time, it is becoming less important to actually store all phone programs and files actually on the handset. Instead of the phone hosting all the information, your games, files and applications can be fed in from somewhere else when required. Phones don’t have to be multi functional devices all the time then, they just have to show whichever information and do whichever job is being requested of them at any one time.
A central information hub that is kept at home, or better yet with your network provider, would essentially act as the phone’s database. Your handset will be able to ‘login’ easily to this hub, regardless of where you are in the world, and access all the files and programs that are stored on it. You will still need a certain amount of hardware in the phone, such as a camera and other electrical components, but you will be able to save huge amounts of space where memory, processors and mini fan accessories would normally be found. This means then that phones could be not much bigger than cable ties and you could even wear them as accessories such on a necklace or as a wrist-band. Breaking free of the weight and size that phones have had to comply with in years gone by could spawn a whole new era for them.
