Phone & Technology

There is a measurable trend with computer components that broadly states that the processing power of integrated circuits will double every two years. Because this trend comes from the ability of manufacturers to pack more transistors into the integrated circuit boards, this same trend holds true with other components such as memory capacity and sensors used in making digital cameras. This trend was first identified in 1965 by one the co-founders of Intel, and has held true ever since.

Many of the advancements in mobile phone technology therefore stem from this ability to get a lot more processing power into the same space for a similar cost as was possible a few years ago.

For consumers, this means that the mobile phone you purchase today will become out dated within 12 months, if not sooner. It will of course continue to operate perfectly satisfactorily, although subject to wear and tear, until you decide you can justify the enhanced features of a new phone.

Of course there is a delay between the technological advancements and those advancements making their way into mobile phones. For this reason, manufacturers are constantly releasing information on their next range of mobiles, even though these will not be available for several months, and in some cases, for the most complex devices this can sometimes be as much as six or nine months.

This does give some idea of the paths in which mobile phone advancements are going.

In addition to higher resolution cameras and near high definition video you can expect to see mobile phones with huge amounts of memory to enable storage of images and music.

One limitation to the capabilities of future mobile phones is battery power. New advancements, particularly backlit touch screens and music players that mean the phones are used for large portions of a day, use up battery power at a faster rate than when a mobile is sitting in standby, just waiting for a call. In addition to improvements in battery technology, manufacturers are exploring new types of memory that not only work faster but use less battery power. This means that your mobile phone will be able to do more for longer.

Another potential advancement in mobile phones is the drive towards a green mobile. Samsung in particular have a track history for developing eco friendly devices including a mobile made from eighty percent recyclable materials and solar powered phones.

The final area of advancement is that of operating platform, that is to say the software that runs the mobile and controls how it works and presents itself to the user. There are currently four or five main contenders; Symbian is the platform used predominantly by Nokia as well as other manufacturers. There is a mobile version of Microsoft Windows and the Google developed Android, in addition to Apple’s operating software that powers the iPhone. Nokia are also experimenting with an alternative system call Maemo.

Developments are ongoing in each of these and are necessary to keep pace with the hardware improvements, but one thing is likely here, and that is that the software is likely to only get more complicated and feature rich as time goes on.

Most online article marketer writers have a specific niche they are trying to dominate, or at least get their fair share to. To do this the article author needs to work very hard to concentrate on their reader’s interests and they need to work hard to provide quality information, data, and make an impression. This is not so easy to do.

Not long ago an individual online article marketer was having trouble writing articles about renewable energy and smart grids. It’s not that the author didn’t know the information, as they had been studying some three-days a week – the challenge was that the specific niche chosen, well, there just was not all that much information available to research online.

Now then, let’s take a case study scenario. Let’s say you are going to be writing articles about cell phones and smart phones. What should you write about? Well, how about we discuss this a little about. Let’s call this our; Telecommunication Writing Project, and let’s comment about what types of things our reader might be interested in. First, we know they might like to learn of the new features of smart phones right? Sure, but let’s not stop there.

Below is a list of other valuable information they might like to learn about, information that could easily have the key words in the articles, which they may be searching online. So, let’s determine how many articles about each we should perhaps prepare, and let’s pick numbers that will be easy to write without too much hardship:

2 Articles Comdex
2 FCC Articles
2 Congress Telecommunication Issues
2 Articles on CES Show
8 Articles on Cell Phones types
What about other telecommunication topics; shouldn’t we be writing articles n all sorts of telecommunication topics. Here are 16 articles on Telecommunication Topics which could fill that bill:

8 Articles on Technological Future of Mobile Communication
4 Articles on Opinion of Telecommunication
4 Articles on Phone Company Coverage, Calling Plans
The realm of potential topics on this subject could be plentiful as a friend of mine recently told me. Potential width of topics:

“CES exploits, COMDEX, 4G wireless tech, GPS tech, Android Tech, and the cable industry/telecom mix, future of WiMax, consumer rates, FCC regulations, proposed bills in Congress, economics of telecom, history of industry, future industry, start-ups, etc. etc. Is that your main focus telecom, phone plans, and cell phone technology.”

So you see, if you are looking on How to Write Articles on Cell Phone and Smart Phone Technologies, I think this article gives you some great strategies to consider, so, please do. And if you are writing on a different topic, I sure hope this discussion is worthy.

The cell phone market is constantly in a state of change. With new innovations and technology coming onto the market place almost on a weekly basis, means if you have the same cell phone for a year it’s probably going to be updated. Then again it really depends what you’re using your cell phone for. Originally simply used them to make phone calls, which at the time was a novel idea. Nowadays we use them to call family and friends, send text messages, send e-mail, access the Internet, play games, take photographs and used the many applications that have now become available.

We have moved so far away from the original idea more into content driven as more and more applications become available for our cellular phones like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter you also starting to see the cellular phone become more of a social media engaging device. This is really an interesting concept but I guess we’re also seeing it as a multimedia device as many people use them for music, recording video, watching television, and watching movies it really has changed completely.

Smart phones have really changed our whole approach to using our phone simply for making phone calls. A smart phone with touchscreen allows us to use the user interface more freely and to be honest makes it much more enjoyable to navigate around the various menu systems without getting completely lost and confused. As our cell phones become more sophisticated it’s also important that the major manufacturers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, LG etc. also consider how we interact with the user interface to make navigation and using the various applications available much easier.

But the whole concept of the Apple iPhone was first introduced it was a revolution in terms of how we use our phones on a daily basis and how we navigate the menu systems. The whole concept also of the Apple applications store has made it much easier for consumers to access various applications that are available previous to this it was always quite daunting to find software that was compatible with your cell phone.

The future looks really bright and over the past three years we have seen a massive turnaround in cellular phone technology. We are also starting to see smart phones moving into the mass market because of the price reductions that the cellular providers are making. Things can only really get better.

The first mobile phone was introduced some 30 years back. In the last three decades, this technology sector has seen enormous growth. Today, almost half the population of the world is using cell phones. This roughly translates to some 4 billion cell phone users in the world. Today, you go to any corner of the world and you will find people using mobile phones. Over the years, this technology has reduced distances and made life easier for the people by connecting them whenever and from wherever they want.

In the last three decades, mobile phone creators and innovators were richly rewarded. Mobile phone market has seen enormous growth in the last three decades. Some experts are saying that the mobile phone market may have reached it’s saturation level. Are the opportunities in the cell phone technology sector over? Definitely not! There are still huge areas in mobile computing with enormous wealth creation potential for those who invest in it now.

In the beginning, mobile phone technology was purely voice based but this changed over time to data based with the introduction of the SMS- Short Messaging Service. This is also know as Text Messaging Service. People have been hooked to this service all over the world. It is much cheaper and easier to SMS than to talk directly all the times. Billions of SMS are being transmitted every day and every hour around the world.

SMS has finally transformed the mobile phone technology from voice based to data based. This has enormous potential for entrepreneurial firms and those investors who back them. SMS is very cheap. Now you can even Twitter your SMS Text Messages. Vast amounts of data is being texted daily now.

Just imagine the early days of the world wide web, when there was no way to search websites for relevant information. Google came and captured the market with it’s search engine. In the same way, these SMS represents enormous sea of information that needs to be mined.

There are some small startups OTC companies that are engaged in doing research on how mobile texts could be mined for information. These companies are engaged in ground breaking research and development that could bring intelligence and control to the SMS market. You can do your research and unearth them. Investing in one of these companies that are in their very early phases can make you a fortune in a few years time.

The idea of mobile phones has been around a lot longer than you thought. In 1947 a certain Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young, who worked for the Bell laboratories, had the idea of a hexagonal cell for mobile phones.

But really it was not until the Eighties arrived before the first technology actually surfaced, although at the time the mobile phone was not in everybody’s price range. These new inventions of the day could only be afforded if you were extremely well off or very rich.

The mobile technology of the Eighties were nothing like the ones you see today. For starters they were far too big to fit in your pocket or your purse, and because they were so big, they were also very awkward to handle.

Because of their size you could not hold them up for too long before your arm started to ache. Not a good idea really. Also the sound was not very clear; nothing like you get today. The main concept of these phones were to carry in your car when you were out and about.

Motorola were the first company to introduce the first true portable handheld phone device.

1990 brought about the first digital cellular phone call. By then the phones had shrunk considerably.

Actually the first cell phones were only supposed to be for receiving and making voice calls whilst out on the road.

Like anything else with time, technology has moved on since the first mobile phones were introduced. You are now able to do a lot more on it than just the making and receiving of calls, such as text messaging, video calls, taking and receiving pictures and much more. The mobile phone has got bigger technology with its smaller size.

There is no doubt that as we get older; the mobile phone technology will only get better.
