If you want the best handset, you need a contract mobile phone - and according to IT gurus, 2010 is all about the handset.
Mobile phone handsets are increasingly more important as technology means our mobiles are much more than just phones. The better the handset, the more you can do, whether it be browsing the internet or using sat nav. And according to IT gurus, our mobile phones will increasingly become more about applications and functions then they will be about making calls. It's predicted that next year, mobile phones will take over even more of the functions on a PC. And according to the media, if 2009 was all about the apps, '2010 will be all about handsets'.
Contract Mobile Phones - Better HandsetsGoogle is thought to be one of the driving forces in 2010; its Android OS will feature in more contract mobile phones. And Google is set to undercut the iPhone while offering users Google services on one screen, including free voice navigation. This move, critics say, has 'assassinated an entire industry' as voice navigation used to cost hundreds of pounds. But as Google tries to dominate the market, big names like Nokia will just flex their muscles more bringing more functionality to consumers at cheaper and cheaper prices. Contract mobile phones will feature better cameras, better technology and better usability.
Developments in Mobile PhonesAnother new development for contract mobile phones will be more phones will feature barcode readers which will take phones directly to a website. Advertising on mobiles is also expected to take off in 2010, thanks to Google's AdMob, and more ebooks are thought to compete with Apple's iTablet, conquering the traditional print trade. Mobile phones are changing the way we live. And already half of the world owns a mobile phone of some kind - whether it be contract mobile phones or pay as you go. As The Guardian predicts: 'It won't be very long before practically everyone on the planet will be connected to each other...It is an awesome prospect with unfathomable political and economic consequences.'
