Mobile Phones Take Shape for 2010

Mobile Phones Take Shape for 2010 Speculation is rife about what 2010 will bring for the mobile phone market. It seems we can expect a new iPhone, Microsoft Mobile 7 and Google’s Android 2.

Technology editor at Which? magazine, Matthew Bath commented to GMANews.TV: “You can't escape the fact that the Apple iPhone has absolutely revolutionized this industry in two years and whatever Apple calls its next version, which should launch in about July 2010, it's going to be probably still the most anticipated launch of the year.”

Google’s Android software is offering stiff competition to the iPhone, however, with key applications and gadgets. In 2010, there will be expansion of this, with the launch of Android 2.0, known also as Eclair. The software will enable the use of multiple accounts on one device, a facility to search through saved text messages and multi-touch support of a virtual keyboard.

Bath said that social networking is really going to go mobile in 2010. He said: “Mobile social networking is going to be a big story for 2010. These are mobile phones that are always connected to the Internet and they can pull together your Facebook, Myspace and Twitter feeds all into one interface so that you can constantly keep in touch with friends and family wherever you go.”

Soon your mobile phone will feel more like you’re carrying around a mini computer, and Nokia’s N900 will enable users to have multiple applications running at the same time, just like your PC.

Deputy editor of T3 magazine, Luke Peters said: “Nokia recently said that, with their new N900 phone, they don't want it to be regarded as a mobile phone, they see it as a portable computer, that is a small, handheld computer, so with more processing speed, more RAM.”

Peters said that with more power mobile phones will take advantage of more features an applications in 2010.
