  The old ones will be in landfill, and the new ones will be just as annoying in the wrong hands as they are today.

  I hope they will be smaller than normal watches, automatically connect to keyboards, mice, and a local monitor wirelessly by saying "connect" and support high quality voice over the next version of bluetooth with voice dialing that works perfectly.

  Basically, no UI will be needed because voice commands will work perfectly.

  Zero dropped calls.

  Unlimited data and voice for US$20/month.

  I can dream, right?

  If they can do the same things my computer can do, then I might consider buying one.

  I know that this is a personal thing, but, I'm sorry but that sounds horrible.

  Phones that are "smaller than normal watches" will never be popular, and voice command functions are silly. Am I getting too old but, what does "Zero dropped calls" mean??

  In 5 years time, smart phones will be faster, have larger memory, be thinner but stronger and have thousands more silly applications and time-wasting games.

  Besides the high tech stuff, they'll probably be a lot more expensive.

  Lighter, thinner, with slightly bigger screens, but still small enough to fit into your pocket. More memory, higher CPUs, so able to do more complex applications, or do the same applications better and faster. Voice recognition for most functions, audio translation of individual words and very simple sentences. Photo and video cameras with more megapixels. Longer lasting batteries.

  1) voice commands- dialing - taking pictures/ video, phone book - looking for restaurants etc., more 3D phones, A world class APP for English Japanese translation.

  A phone you dont have to jack into your computer. It wirelessly does it by itself. A phone that doesn`t need charging for 10 days.

  I can see apps going out of style in the next 10 years.

  10 - 15 years

  a phone with A.I. that will actually talk to you. And will be smarter than you and know more about you than you know yourself

  a real smartphone that will do everything for you. Including driving your automobile. Pocket Assistant a paper thin phone that can do anything and doesn`t need apps anymore. Because it already knows your preference already.

  Automatically loads music that you like. Less
