Mobile phones have come a long way since the 1990's, where few technological advances have been applied to the mobile phone as we know it today. But thanks to technology in recent years, we can now expect the bridge between mobile phones and other electronics to merge- and create new types of powerhouse electronics.

For those who are a photographer at heart, the mobile phone is a great way to take pictures on the go. Mobile phones are commonly about the same size as a digital camera, and recent technologies have enabled them to be on par in terms of resolution and picture quality. It isn't uncommon to see a 6 mega-pixel camera on today's market- something that was unheard of just 10 years ago!

It's hard to imagine using a mobile phone without also considering the prospect of being networked with friends and family members. But networking on today's standards is much different. We now have Bluetooth and infrared technologies that can connect devices without a thought of a wire. Wireless technologies are also becoming popular in business-class phones, where actual Internet access can even be obtained from wireless Internet spots.

We've all heard of the Nokia N-Gage. It was supposed to be the revolutionary consumer phone that also doubled over as a video game platform. Mobile phones haven't quite lived up to the hype that the N-Gage had, but they are making leaps and bounds in the gaming department regardless. Some mobile phones can allow support for fully 3D games, as well as many different kinds of visually appealing 2D games.

A big topic in mobile phone industries today is the usage of the 3G network. The 3G network stands for "third generation," in which the previous two were slower, less functional, and less appeasing to customers. The next generation, 4G, is likewise slated to be faster, better, and stronger than that of previous mobile networks. It's an exciting race coming up to see who can build the best network- either way, consumers win.

And of course, lest we forget, the GPS craze that has been sweeping the world is also starting to rewrite the way we think of mobile phones. Already mobile phones can tell emergency responders where a caller is based on the global positioning network they make use of. This technology is also starting to hit consumers in the form of driving directions, estimating time until a destination is reached, and even calculating speed or fuel efficiency. Whatever the case, the GPS industry is quickly becoming standard among consumer electronics of present and future technologies.

Final Thoughts

It's tough to tell where the mobile industry is going, but it's easy to say where it's been. The mobile phone industry has made considerable progress over the years, and there is no signs in showing that this progress is slowing down any. Mobile users get the benefit of this upstart in technological advances, although it doesn't always come cheap. It won't be long until mobile phones become multi-use consumer electronics, but many would attest that they have already become so with their vast features and options.
