Before the end of this decade (2010) I believe that cell phones will be the focal point of a convergence which will encompass music, video, photography, email, internet, and of course, communications.
Apple is leading the convergence with their new iPhone - Here's a short video blurb on this new marvel....
A Cell Phone PC will encompass these diverse applications, and will take several shapes - from a shape similar to an ordinary watch - to a traditional "flip phone" - to an even a more radical "headband" computer.
A Cell Phone PC will also be available in all price ranges - from a very inexpensive "bare bones" model to the latest expensive one with all the "bells and whistles".
On the inexpensive side of things - the FonePlus is a project of Microsoft. This PC cellphone would be able to access the Internet, e-mails and online video content as well as mobile productivity tools like PocketOffice. Microsoft says the cellphone, which connects to a TV and keyboard, could be an alternative to expensive PCs for people living in poorer nations.
For the expensive side, witness Peter Aloisson's luxury design - The Diamond Crypto Smartphone.
This expensive cell phone is priced at $1,300,000 USD. It features a platinum body and features a cover adorned with 50 diamonds including ten which are a rare blue diamond. The Ancort logo and the navigation key are made of 18 carat rose gold. Built on the Windows CE software system, this most expensive cell pretty much does it all.
