The market for mobile communications devices has taken off like a rocket, since the early days when they were only used to make a phone call. Now, they can be used to send email, check the financial markets or record video. Future cell phone technology promises even more advances. The devices of tomorrow will be smaller, thinner, and have all the normal functions of a full sized computer.
Not all cell phone networks play well with different handsets. Each major company providing service uses a variety of other communications systems, depending on the area or the country. So a device in one country may not work in another. But that may soon change, thanks to network hopping. It is one system, so to say, that rules them all and lets any phone work in any country or location, no matter what kind of protocol is used.
When the first cell phone towers went up, the first devices were not small, but were large and bulky, compared to ones today. They will likely continue to get smaller, and a lot thinner. The battery life will also be extended. Some phones will not even have to be plugged in to an electrical outlet. They may have small solar panels on the back so they can be recharged by sunlight.
Designers are also getting into the act, creating phones that not only communication but also make a fashion statement. A device could be sewn into a jacket or shirt, allowing hands free operation. Other ones may be designed as a kind of circle, so the components can be worn on a wrist like a bracelet. The devices are already so small, they can be disguised and hidden almost anywhere.
The phones can only have apps and features that can handle the data transfer speed by the networks. So in order to add more functions, service providers will likely build new towers and infrastructure to handle faster data speeds. The faster technology means smaller handsets will be able to display full length motion pictures, without having to wait for a download or a buffer.
Most devices now have the ability to record pictures or video. And this is another function that will be expanded, thanks to faster, and smaller, computer chips for handsets. They will also have higher resolution, making them capable of recording high definition or even 3D. The resolution should get to the point that it is the same professional quality as broadcast cameras.
In a few years, phones may also have the kinds of apps that lets users leave their wallets and purses behind. They may have a secure, identity system, to make e-payments easier. So instead of carrying cash, a customer at the grocery store can simply use an app that has a digital information for their debit or credit card.
It is said that talk is cheap, and thanks to advances in the high-tech world, cell phones are becoming more inexpensive, with more features, and easier to use. And if this is any indication, future cell phone technology will create devices that are still small, and yet more powerful than any laptops on the market today.
