What new tech can you see be released on phones in the ext 10 years?

What about holograms?

Battery's which last much longer and Solar power charging built into the phone.

Is that possible? Surely there is a physical limit as to how good a small battery can be?

Of course it's possible. Anything is possible

I reckon we may actually give up on batteries and use carbon nano-tubes to make high-capacity capacitors. These would last nowhere near as long as a battery or hold as much charge but capacitors can get fully charged up in seconds so you would just maybe see people charging 5 times a day but maybe 30 seconds a pop.

Additionally, I see a lot more wireless charging based on inductive charging and also harvesting ambient RF energy in the air.

Clearly all phones will be really powerful and will have ultra-high speeds. 3D hasn't taken off yet on phones but it may do. We will also see flexible phones with flexible displays.

Not helpful if your phone is in your pocket, bag, glovebox in the car etc.

I agree with batteries that last longer though.

Better cameras on phones - yes I know it's a phone and not a digital camera, but still think this is something that could be improved upon.

I think 'phone' as a device is largely going to disapear, replaced with voice/gesture activated wearable technology.

Something like this is very cool for example.

What about these carbon nano-tube capacitors in addition to traditional batteries? The capacitors could be charged quickly and then trickle charge the traditional battery

Have a look at the imminent Nokia N 808 PureView.
Rave reviews about the camera. cheers FW
