Hi all,
So most of you have been using PDA phones for at least a couple of years I guess. And you must have noticed that there isn't really much advancement made since... definitely not revolutionary anyway. Hopefully after iPhone's success (in terms of sales, not technology) companies will actually wake up and listen instead of doing the same thing repetitively.
I guess we need Intel and Google on the case asap really.
So does anyone know of a up-coming technologies that are going into new PDA phone models in the near future?
The things that I think would be nice, revolutionary or evolutionary, in the near future (2 to 3 years-ish) are...
- VGA screens (no brainer)
- True colour screens (16mil)
- Li-sulfur batteries (10 times longer?)
- OLED screens (thinner, brighter, lower power consumption and more readable)
- Andriod platform (well, may be)
- On-board SSD storage
- Wireless USB capable
- Multi-core "everything on one chip" processor design
- VoIP capability built into core software?
One thing I don't think will happen is devices getting smaller... they actually seem to get bigger if anything. Also I don't think cameras on £450 PDA phones will ever match cameras on £150 mobile phones :( Oh and they certainly ain't getting cheap!
Thanks.
