SmartPhones

With the increasing popularity of Virtual Desktops, the increasing capabilities of smart phones, and the increasing pervasiveness of speedy networks, the day will soon be upon use when people start using their smartphones as a secondary laptop or desktop PC.

One writer looked forward to the day this "Nirvana SmartPhone" comes to market and offers readers a sneak peek at how this product of the future will look and feel, and what it will do.

Like the Nokia N95 and certain PDAs, the Nirvana smartphone will have a Video Out. The iPhone already has such functionality, but it's limited. The upcoming i-Mate promises to improve upon it. The Nirvana smartphone will also have a keyboard and mouse and a docking station.

It's probably obvious to most technophiles that such a Nirvana smartphone would have improved and enhanced music, video, photo, and voice capabilities, but there are endless other innovative uses for the burgeoning technology including: web-enabling all of the televisions in your home, and conducting video conferences through your TV.

Calling last year's Nokia N95 "peerless" in terms of sheer feature set - even compared against the coveted iPhone - PC Magazine is simply raving about the new and improved Nokia N95, as luck would have it - a U.S. model.

Improvements in the new Nokia N95 include:

• 8 gigs of memory - like the latest European model (though unfortunately without the added memory card slot)
• raised bumps on the buttons - specifically the music access buttons, making it easier to find them and control your music listening without fiddling too much with your phone
• Easy access web services - like Yahoo! Search, Flickr (Yahoo!'s photo sharing service), and Amazon's MobiPocket e-book reader

Most importantly, of course, the U.S. model works on AT&T's HSPDA system high-speed network.
