Cell (mobile) phones have been on a serious diet since their conception well over a decade ago. They have moved from being the size of fax machine to items no bigger than a cigarette lighter in many cases. That said, there was a marked reversal in this shrinking progress as phones took on more and more functions and applications, such as being used as video cameras and personal organisers. These smart phones such as the iphone and the latest generation of Nokias are certainly a lot sleeker than phones of old, but they represent a step backwards in terms of phone size and portability. Not all is lost though as phones are getting back on the wagon.

As mobile Internet connectivity becomes increasing more widespread and the speeds continue to increase almost daily, there is a dwindling need to store all your applications and files on the phone itself. You can instead stream whatever information, games and functions you need from else ware, only when you need it. This then allows phones to essentially act like shells, that can be used for different things at different times, just by feeding different information into them.

A central information hub that is kept at home, or better yet with your network provider, would essentially act as the phone’s database. On the central hub you will have all the software and individual files that you need for your phone to function and you will be able to access these using your handset at any time. You will still need a certain amount of hardware in the phone, such as a camera and other electrical components, but you will be able to save huge amounts of space where memory, processors and mini ac fans would normally be found. This means then that phones could be not much bigger than cable ties and you could even wear them as accessories such on a necklace or as a wrist-band. The phone would be liberated from its conventional state and could take any shape you desire.
