Voice recognition, NFC, location activated reminders.... the whole Star Trek "Computer, on!" thing is coming. ROOT YOUR PHONES NOW, PEOPLE! WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE!
Either they're going to become indispensable adjuncts to your person, working as an interface between you and the functional (as opposed to immediate physical) world OR the cloud is going to be the key "device" and phones themselves will be as disposable as plastic cups. And either way...
Eh, I dunno. Japan invented the cd player and crossed over from being the cheap copies country to whatever it was before it became what it is now, and China is making some move in phones... making their move too early, actually, but anyway....
RETAIN CONTROL, PEOPLE! SOYLENT YELLOW IS PHONES!
