All the internet biggies right from AT&T , samsung, sony are betting billions that they can deliver all the information on the Internet--and then some---to your mobile devices. That would mean that just about any consumer device, from your cellphone to your MP3 player to your digital camera to your laptop, would serve up rich, multimedia data any time and any place, without annoying hiccups or pauses, and without wires. It's a future in which many devices in your home will touch the Web multiple times every day--whether you realize it or not.
Internet and wireless services are going to be a part of our future, though we want it or not..
Have a look at the future devices that will rule the world.
Samsung's sleek VLUU i70 camera offers a glimpse into this future. It's an advanced camera, packing 7.2 megapixels, a 15x optical zoom, anti-shake technology and a professional-grade video recorder.
Verizon Wireless and AT&T's decision to support a broader range of devices on their networks and upgrade them within the next two to three years to another super-fast technology, called LTE. Solis forecasts that nearly 100 million mobile broadband-connected devices (not including cellphones or computers) will be sold globally by 2012, up from less than 500,000 today.
You might think your mobile devices already tap the Web. Maybe your laptop has a good wi-fi receiver. But future mobile broadband networks will be faster and broader than wi-fi or Bluetooth, the popular, short-range wireless technology. Increasing how much data chugs through these networks changes what you do--just like moving from dial-up Internet access to broadband unleashed new waves of internet servicesthat use pictures and videos.
Cellphones--particularly Apple's iPhone--are the closest most Americans can get right now to the future of wireless broadband. If you've bought a cellphone in the past year, you can probably use it to get online pretty quickly. Most new cellphones support third-generation, or 3G, technology, which isn't as fast as DSL but is widespread throughout the U.S.
Apple is expecting to upgrade the iPhone to a 3G-capable device this summer. A crop of premium phones, like the just-announced BlackBerry Bold and HTC Touch Diamond and Nokia 's best-selling N95, support the faster HSDPA. WiMax will come to cellphones too: Sprint says it plans to offer "dual-mode" handsets that combine WiMax with cellular technology this winter.
Cellphones aren't the only always-connected devices that are already here. Amazon.com's Kindle e-book reader, which taps Sprint's data network to deliver books by electronic file, is another example. The price of the wireless connection is included in the cost of each e-book. Sprint gets a cut of each $9.99 download rather than charging by the minute or the megabyte.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT REVOLUTION?

These 3G smart phones are the future and they will make things much more simpler, no need of having PC to all internet related things, when every application out there is supporting these smartphones out there, and in a way internet penetration is... |
