The March of the Mobiles

Colin Dunstan · 06-19-2004, 04:10 AM

The Guardian has an interesting article today on how new breakthroughs aimed at boosting phones' power and storage capacity could herald the technology's next great leap forward.

- the first phone with integrated hard disk storage is on its way (thanks to 1-inch hard disks - iPod made the first move)
- fuel cells powered by tiny hydrogen-based energy sources are being tested
- watching TV footage on mobiles by next year
- view programmes you've recorded at home as well as access Sky Plus-type functions, such as pausing live TV when the phone rings
- new technologies delivering fold-up screens
