High Speed Data Acess. Imagine your Cell phone browsing the internet at DSL speed. Browsing the internet on your cell phone is nothing new, but DSL speed would be.
Video Cameras - This technology is actually already here. While currently a cell phone camera may have limited capabilities, soon it will fair well against a stand-alobe video camera.
Watching TV or movies - We will be watching television and movies, possibly with projection systems integrated into the cellphones.
Fuel Cell - Battery life often holds tech products back, and fuel cells could provide a boost. Fuel cells are like tiny engines that generate power through chemical reactions.
Surf the Internet, play music, store all your images and videos, carry all your medical records, have access to GPS navigational information, check-in at the airport, watch TV, use as Identification, go web shopping - all of these functions are either here or just around the corner.
Cell phone companies and the network carriers are both strongly behind the multimedia revolution - and most technology watchers confirm that our lives will be more and more cell phone centric. With Internet, email, MP3 audios, Video streaming and photography consolidated into these small devices, you can expect cell phones to become the only piece of electronic on us at all times.
