The Tiniest Cell Phones Ever Made
The appearance of mobile (cell) phones have evolved almost beyond recognition over the years. They have moved from being the size of fax machine to items no bigger than a cigarette lighter in many cases. However, phones began to take on new more advanced roles such as Internet browsing and being MP3 players, and this led to something of a turnaround for handset sizes. 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. However, this is soon set to change.
As internet and 3G connectivity gets quicker all the time, it is becoming less important to actually store all phone programs and files actually on the handset. Instead of the phone hosting all the information, your games, files and applications can be fed in from somewhere else when required. 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.
How this will work is that you will have a central hub, either at home or hosted with an external company. 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.
