what do people think will happen to mobile phones in the future?? what new features will be added?

the companies will use the same features but update them like cameras.Samsung will have a 7 megapixel camera later in the year.

Agreed there will be an uping of specs alright. Expect to see better photos and higher res screens. Expect to see far better/higher capacity music players. Expect mobile phone carriers to try to stem tide of VOIP, WiMax and near field communications. Expect payment systems and GPS integration and possibly free services that are funded on the back of advertising schemes that pick up on your location.

Fully integrated mobile devices, its been coming for a long time now, soon every phone will have a decent MP3/Music player, Its a good revenue streem for the networks, for example think how much money vodafone could make from music downloads on the HSDPA network.

i also think the line between phones and PC or UMPC's (ultra mobile PC's) will become increasingly blurred, with phones being an extention of the desktop, or eventualy the phone itself being the main PC, you just dock it to use a full size screen/keyboard/mouse when you are at home. Think how fast solid state memory has come down in price, its not over the top to say that most phones in 5 or so years time will have a 32Gb flash drive as standard.

Of course there will always be phones for the like of my parents.

Have a look at this video some of this stuff is not too far off! Very nice!

Too right, that level of connectivity would be amazing, i think most of that video could be achieved today.............at a price (apart from the voice activation, they still cant seem to nail that)
