The Smartphone In Five Years

What are we looking at?
  • Holographic keyboard and screen - no separate PC necessary
  • Transparent display option - goes on/off on command
  • Super light
  • Super fast
  • Wireless gigabit broadband, always on
  • Super strong 
  • Super smart - an assistant that never goes to sleep and is always batting for you
  • Super battery - an embedded nuclear reactor for energy, or equivalent
  • Beyond touch, totally NUI, Natural User Interface, 3D 
  • Limitless storage in the cloud, made possible because non unique stuff is shared 
  • Unbreachable security, your phone can not be used by anyone else, protected by technology and global law



This is inevitable: the iPhone, 5 years into the future

Bendable Smartphones: That's Twisted


Begs the obvious question. Why would you want to bend your smartphone? Unless bendable means much lighter. Then light is good. And also if bendable means sturdier, strong is good.

First you get to bend it, then you get to roll it.

But you don't want it to get so thin that it becomes a martial art weapon. Well, it perhaps is a martial art weapon at any thickness. So that is a moot point.

Samsung preps 5.5-inch flexible phone screen for CES demo
although its demo screens curve without rending, they don't yet roll up. ..... Competitors LG and Nokia have also recently demonstrated bendy prototypes for smartphones and tablets. Pliable electronics are clearly a future trend.
Will the Samsung Galaxy S4 be 'unbreakable'?
the next batch of galactic goodies will pack a quad-core processor and 13-megapixel camera.... either the Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5 will have bendable or even foldable displays by 2014. Just imagine, returning to the legacy of the flip phone with new folding or even "squishy" phones. I might even stand in line for a "koosh" phone.
