Not many people in the eighties could have predicted how popular the mobile phone would become. The idea of everyone having such a device seemed like something out of Star Trek. Here we are though and it is almost impossible to imagine a world without mobile phones. Even if you visit the poorest and most remote parts of the world you are still likely to see people with mobile phones. And what is most amazing is that this rise from no mobiles to everyone having them has happened in a little over two decades. So speculating about the future has become even more interesting. Technology is moving so fast; will we still be using mobile phones in another decade.

Every time a new device is introduced onto the market there seem to be significant changes to what we are used to. Our mobile phones these days do not just allow us to call and text, but they are a great source of entertainment for us. We can now do a whole host of exciting things on our mobile phones such as play games, take photos and videos, watch movies, listen to music, write emails, surf the internet and make updates to our social media profiles. The amount of possibilities with mobile phones these days means that it is highly likely that they won’t be called mobile phones for much longer. Even within the last couple of years there have been huge advances with this technology so what will happen in another ten years.

Thinking about this is actually very exciting. I confidently predict that the words ‘mobile phone’ will sound completely out-of-date by 2020 – we will look upon it as we now look upon a Walkman. We may even see mobile technology becoming more like jewellery by the year 2020. No one really knows how things are going to change but one thing we can all be sure of is that they will change.

Xbox Kinect is commonly employed by lots of persons nowadays. In many cases it may be seen combined with selected applications using Memory Cards. PS3 Break is very important in the context of the products also.

There’s never been a better opportunity to check out the new mobile phones on offer.  This is on account of the sales performance of the iPhone, a large number of popular manufacturers are looking to the Android platform from Google to try and close the gap.  This is a critical time in the market, if Apple gains total dominance then all app developers will only look to develop their apps for the iPhone, and it will make almost all other phones obsolete.  With so much on the line phone manufacturers are rushing a slew of new phones onto the market to try and bridge the gap before it becomes too late.  And this is good news for mobile users as it means there are a variety of Android phones being released, each with different features and benefits.  Below are a selection of phones to look out for.

The Motorola Droid 2 builds on the success of the original Motorola Droid, but has an improved slide out keyboard, and also has the most recent version of Android which ensures an up spec phone. 

The HTC EVO was the first 4G phone to hit the market.  The main benefit of 4G is faster internet connection speeds, so you can increase the data rate and use more powerful apps.  The other key advantages of the EVO is the huge screen, the fast processor, and the option to connect it directly to your television with an HDMI cable.

Finally the HTC Droid Incredible has been a very popular Android phones, and and has many of the same looks and features as the Google released phone, the Nexus One.  The key benefits of this phone are its fast processor, and the sleek design of the 3.7 inch touchscreen.

So that leaves the question, are any of these phones better than the iPhone?  For the most part, it really comes down to individual taste.  You can see a full range of phones to make your decision at on the following link www.askforit.org. For some users it comes purely down to the number of apps available.  As mentioned above, app developers have produced many more apps for the iPhone than for any Android based phones, although many of the most popular apps are available for both the iPhone and Android.   But if form is as important to you as function, then it’s definitely worth checking out the selection of new Android phones hitting the market.
