The quest to boost mobile device functionality

The cell phone you bought six months ago is likely considered outdated by now. Mobile phone device makers have been extremely busy plugging in every conceivable feature, application and access point--from traditional calling to email, instant messaging, video, music, office apps and, now, even TV. The latest and greatest in mobile phone technology was on display at the recent CeBit show, and every vendor seems to be touting the latest and greatest to the consumer and business market. Nokia's got DVB-H (digital video capability), LG has a display that flips around into a common looking small television screen, Samsung's SGH i310 boasts an 8 GB hard drive, and the SCH B600 can hook to external MMC micro cards, boosting hard drive space to 1 GB. If you thought getting user consensus on features, functionality and mobile abilities was tough this year, it's only going to get tougher. Article
