They will replace computers. You install mobile OS and PC OS into your phone, and just connect it to your screen. Maybe a little futuristic. They did it with Ubuntu at least.

Phones may eventually get to the point they can plug into screens, but to be viable they also need to plug into mouses, keyboards and usb devices. All that wont happen but what may possibly happen is wireless keyboards and mice could be used along with the seperate display, and then you left with the issue with the lack of local storage and optical media. I think your theory is possible but is much more than 2 years away and also wont replace computers in the work place as well as enthusiasts machines.

I'd like to be able to wireless access everything from my phone, right on the lens of my glasses. I believe that's in development, but I want it perfected. Another thing that would be cool would the ability to project my phones screen on any surface and use the surface as the screen.

And for the sake of humor, I want there to be a Motorola Droid Humanoid, running Android Zebra Cake.

When you think about it, it's a great idea.

Asus is going to be a big player in the years to come. As word spreads (because, you know, they're too damned cheap to do ANY marketing at all) they will become "the" Android tablet/phone to get.

PS Quad Core is definitely NOT the upper hardware ceiling for Androids or any other mobile device. NVidia is core-happy and is already talking about 8-cores, 16-cores and more.

@Manzanita

It's not that far away. OLED technology has been around for quite a while, and printed OLEDs means that the displays can be a) flexible, b) extremely thin, c) very durable

Printable electronic circuit boards and thin, flexible batteries (CURRENT technology, but quite new) also means that in a few short years your phone could be "credit card " thin, flexible, and will likely have 4+ cores (which are not superfluous if the code utilizes all 4 cores)
[General Topics] icenight89:
ICS hasn't even been developped to fully utilize 2 cores, let alone 4, so quad core phones are pointless, just a big pissing contest with less battert life as the prize. For those of u who will say that they also possess a low power core that will offset this, I'll believe the benchmarks when I see it. Until then, give me a phone with a dual core exynos, full hw acceleration on gpu, and a 2600 ma battery that lasts 3 days heavy usage, and we'll talk
[General Topics] RoboDan918:
@icenight

Look at the power utilization on quad core vs dual core

MORE CORES DOES NOT EQUAL MORE POWER UTILIZATION!!!

Case in point: A Pentium D (dual-core Pentium 4) uses more power than a Core 2 Quad.

Yeah it'd be nice if they supported Micro SDXC, and they likely could with a firmware update. I would prefer 64GB+ in the device and an option for 1-2 Micro SDXC of 64GB+

Once it has enough storage and the quad core it will very likely replace my laptop. I'm on-board for the Asus padfone (aka Transformer Phone)
[General Topics] danam:
I had an asus transformer prime for a week when I was traveling by air and it was perfect for the plane, a little less perfect as a laptop substitute for a few days away, and not really a laptop substitute without a physical keyboard -- so I got a razr with a bigger screen than my old phone and was thinking of getting a netbook.

Looking ahead though, what would be neat is something razr size with double or triple the battery life and the ability to project a screen and link to a physical keyboard. The pieces exist. They just need to be miniaturized and packaged a bit. If Windows 8 is all it's cracked up to be it might be the perfect os for this netbook/laptop replacement system.

[General Topics] descendency:
No. It's not possible with anything.

For one, the phone is too small to create real user interfaces to do many of the things that a PC can do.

The other problem is that hardware in phones today is a good 7-10 years behind laptops. That won't change. They can mask it all they want by limiting it to 1 process physically running and whatnot, but phones and tablets are a few (hardware) generations behind laptops.

See above.
[General Topics] RoboDan918:
@descendency

Netbooks can't do much. Their high OS overhead also slows them to be slower in real-world applications than their tablet counterparts. While the CPU is technically "faster" it is bogged down so it is "de facto" slower.

We are at the point where tablets can already take over the majority of the functions of a laptop, and with off-site processing and storage (The almighty CLOUD) they become more useful and powerful than the devices they replaced.

It is inevitable.

Look up Razer's "Project Fiona"

3rd gen i7 core, 4 gb ram, GTX 600+ graphics card. All for under $1k.

I watched them play Skyrim at ultra high settings at over 40 fps at CES. On a tablet. Mind Freaking Blown.
[General Topics] 6mon:
I'm looking forward for universal docking : one for bedside, shower, kitchen, car, work, tv, gaming, etc. The phone/device could be the only piece of technology for most of them or only part of a bigger system (TV screen, gaming capabilities, car sensors monitoring, etc.). The key here is to bring your data and personalisations/security everywhere!
[General Topics] tandrews93:
How the hell do you get skyrim on a tablet ..... I want that
[General Topics] sreza:
It's running Win 7/8, the controllers on the sides have rumble packs in them. It's the only tablet that's rated for Dolby 7.1. I watched them connect a mouse&kb and keep playing using that instead. 2 triggers on the back of each controller.

Essentially, if you can run it on a Windows 7 pc with a i7 core, 4 gb ram, and a GTX 600+ graphics card, then it'll run just fine on a Fiona. So pretty much anything on the pc market today can be done on it. I'm honestly seriously considering replacing my tower with this thing!

But can it play Crysis 2... Oh wait, it actually can.. O_o
[General Topics] TechIsCool:
But at what point are you spending so much money that you can use a laptop or desktop for yes portability but why not a laptop and save the money for games? Its a cool device but I find that like the dell netbook/touchscreen device it will be going nowhere fast.

[General Topics] chrcol:
they diff gen cpus tho.

a quad core core2duo uses more than a dual core core2duo at equal clock speeds.

For me for the smartphone to even be partially considered viable to replace traditional pcs it would need the following.

usb ports, probably at least 3.

pc monitor output port.

ethernet cable port.

4000+ mah battery

less gimmicky, eg. button to unlock instead of swipe.

external 5.1 speaker output

easy ability to install any OS such as windows and dual boot.

in addition I want phones to have a better shape, currently they too wide to hold in hand comfortably probably due to demands for bigger screens, solution is phones that fold up to smaller size and unfold when used. Perhaps have secondary smaller screen when folded and used only for calls.

so as far as I am concerned smartphones are miles off been anywhere near capable of replacing desktop devices on a mass scale in developed countries.

Also why do people want quad cores?

I can tell you from pc experience the main advantage of quad cores is multitasking, yes androids by design will shutdown idle background apps to save battery and ram. On the pc even with several years of multi core processors the vast majority of apps do not use more than 1 core at a time, because its diffilcult to code apps in such a way.

LifeProof is a company that specializes in waterproof phone casing for the iphone.. Here are the specs they list, thing is the iphone is just the iphone, and has minor and subtle changes, so the cases are adaptable for most versions, unlike android phones where they vary from size to shape and locations of the buttons..but im sure if enough demand was aimed their way, they could apply all that technology into our field of view..

Here are their specs:

Your LifeProof™ everyday case for iPhone 4 or 4S is sleek, refined, convenient and unobtrusive.

Protection

Protects against every-day hazards—full IP-68 rating against water and dust, and designed to Military Specifications

High degree of shock and impact protection—tested to Military Specifications MIL-STD-810F-516.5 (2 meters/6.6ft drop on all surfaces and edges. 26 tests)

Fully sealed protection against minute dust particles

Freedom

Includes bonus General User Headphone Adaptor and Keeper for headphone jack cover

Ability to swim and take underwater (2 meters/6.6ft depth). Optional Swimming Headphone Adapter allows use of waterproof headphones underwater

Mil-Spec protection that allows you to go anywhere, anytime, and do anything with carefree freedom

Beauty

Ultra-slim and adds only 1/16” (1.5mm) when measured from the center of the phone

LG is comping pretty close with their Optimus line. The only downside: they're LG. If they made a stock Android (ie Nexus) phone I'd buy one in a minute. On paper they have some of the best phones out there, and they look beautiful.

A curved screen with Gorilla Glass 2 (new this year, thinner, lighter) from edge to edge with a 1mm bezel is what I think a lot of people want to see.

I don't think the future of phones will be important for about another 4 years.

The galaxy S2 has been around for about 1 and a half years and is still one of the best phones around. It's still got another couple of years left in it aswell.

The galaxy S3 is another powerful and future proof phone and could last in the competition for another 3 years I reckon.

It's only when we reach that point that technology will have to be upgraded and have significant changes.

That's how I see it anyway :D

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but...

I'm predicting even more design transparency, social media integration and physical integration. When phones are powerful enough, it will be easy to NFC interface with EVERYTHING in day to day life. Sitting down at home? Your phone lights up your monitor so you can browse the web on a full size peripheral. Want to drive somewhere? Your phone talks to your car and gives you directions. Not sure what to eat for dinner? Some siri-like program has a suggestion. Your phone will probably be some sort of main computing device that interfaces wirelessly with peripherals everywhere you go, every second of your day. Everything will be tied to an online account so you always have whatever software you need. I am both amazed and frightened by this sort of future. Thoughts?

I hope the next big thing is phones replacing computers. By this I don't mean every one should get rid of their home pc's and laptops, and instead use your small screened phones to do everything, but to connect your phone to your TV or screen, and Ubuntu/Windows/Android PC(if Google makes such os) would boot after a prompt screen(do you want to...). And you could connect mouse and keyboard onto some kinda dock and your phone would act as speaker(OR again you could connect your speakers to the dock).

This would really revolutionize all computer science. It's partly possible right now, but we need support from big companies like Samsung, ASUS, Google etc.
