@If the phone of the future is ugly as you say then what will be the future of the phone?

The phones of today are better than that of the future... very bad and ugly design, hope it won't be that kind of design.
Taken from the website:
"... screens that play Star Wars..."
SE phones do it now as they sponsored the Star Wars movie by launching Star Wars special edition phones (LOL).
"The autofocus component will be in Samsung phones this year."
SE has it on K750i that already available in the market.

I quite liked it  , simplistic yet smart, no silly wallpapers or photo id calling, just a phone. |

I think the phones of the future will be much more sophisticated and better looking than this concept.
Looks like a flattened ipod.

I think phones, as such, will eventually cease to exist and we'll simply have fully voice controlled communicators much like star trek and which form part of what we wear everyday.
Its really cumbersome to have to carry a device we use every day in the way we do now and also unneccessary to have to push buttons and fiddle with settings.
For this reason I do also think that voice communication will diverge out of our gadgets in the future

Beam me up Scotty!
So masseur your basically saying that voice communication will go out all together?...i don't think that will ever happen.We may have very advanced forms of communications in the future,Proberbly more video calling or some advanced form of SMS but traditional voice calling will still remain,well i think?

no I didn't mean voice communication would go altogether, I just think that the actual voice side of it (i.e. not data/sms etc) will be separated into wearable devices which blend with our everyday clothes and which require no hands-on to operate and are uncomplicated because their only function is to provide voice communication
This then would be a device that every single one of us wears and those of us that need more would then have a device not unlike todays multi function devices that give us those features

Oh now i get it,that seems more understandable now.Yes in the context i would have to agree with you.
I just hope we live long enough to see all this future technology come into fruition.

I like your suggestions massuer and I would be keen to use such a 'Garment Gadget', but I can't see it becoming mainstream.
The reason is that many mobile phone users of totally baffled by the sophistication of thier phones and seldom use voice tags. This is why you get phones like the Vodafone Simply. I don't like it but it's reality. |

but I think current voice tag technology is in its infancy and the development of AI and speech recognition will easily provide for my suggestion.
Indeed the device itself need not have the power to understand the spoken words. What you say can be sent wirelessly to some powerful central unit that performs the recognition and then actions the dialling commands or whatever
Already on pocketpc Microsoft have voice command software which requires no training and in my experience using it on the imate JAM is almost always correct. you can press a button and then say any name in the phone book immediately after installation and it dials the right number. you can also say any artist or track title of music on the phone or storage card and it starts playing. its a fantastic and affordable (about £24.99) product and the way I think these things should be
