Enthusiasts may go for new devices in the middle of 2010, however most interesting penetration is about to start in 2011, according to my mere predictions.

I have two crystal balls, and lots of mushrooms that give me that special gift to see the future.

Ok, I can’t say I have some insiders information, however I work on product design, and to say more we at my studio are making a high-tech gadget to be publicly released in 2008, so I’m relatively close to the subject in some ways, and mobile phones market has been interesting to me from its beginning, so I can see many trends easily. Many big jumps are not possible in today mobile phones due to battery life and performance limitations, and of course the platform. One more slowdown factor belongs to the network operators, and it is the most sad part. However everything that concerns the device itself should experience the transition in 2011 approximately, speaking of the hardware related issues like performance and the platform (those are quite close one to another) we still are in 2005 solutions, I wouldn’t dare to doubt that performance have increased dramatically however “size / performance / energy efficiency” trio altogether doesn’t give the results satisfactory enough to release a completely “next generation” devices. By 2011 we should have a seamless compatibly between pc standards and things on the mobile phone, this may probably mean the native usage of pc applications on the mobile phones. Most interesting part is the future of PC, this however may take up to ten years or even more, yet I believe that would be the most probable way or PC evolution, basically there is no need to have a calculating performance in every single device yet to have it in one place (your virtual hub) and just transmit the results to the client devices, virtually you can have a PC running any application you want and just manipulate it via the mobile device. SO this is not promised yet we should get closer to it in the next generation, also payment systems and much more integration into real life should occur, this usually takes at least two years to roll out, for example first you have an mp3 codec available yet people still use their CDs, usually only in three – five years this notion becomes widely spread and we can talk about out daily routine embraced, here 2011 is probably the beginning for such movements, we may say that the Iphone delivers an internet on your palm in true PC vision, yet it is not fully true, no flash support and many more limitations prevents us from saying it, much more important is not to have a function to browse the web 100% the way it is seen on PC but to have developers and services aware of that fact, so it all should come together in the new class of devices, so I would say if your current phone works fine you may want to stick to it for the next three years.
