Introduction
At the end of the year one should really a write a nice summary. Before starting to write this one I’ve just thought over what have we predicted for this year and I have seen that we have guessed a couple of things.
The hot topic of last December has already been iPhone and its huge effect on the evolution of mobile phones. Last year we have already seen that the future hold touchscreen handsets with simple, easy to use and spectacular user interfaces and this year all noteworthy manufacturers have launched a model that has been inspired by iPhone. One might deny this (we’ve thought of this before Apple did), but it’s no use.
The iPhone-effect
We have also guessed that Neonode will die, we have guessed that the top camera phones will have 8 megapixel image sensors, we had a good tip about microSD becoming a real standard, but we have been too optimistic about the spreading of microUSB. Our prognosis related to the mobile navigation breakthrough has been correct, but we would have never imagined that Meizu M8 won’t be launched even in 2008, and it looks that it will come only next year. We have believed in Motorola’s resurrection, but no significant changes have happened, and we have been worried about Sony Ericsson a year ago – no changes since. It hasn’t been hard to forecast the Series 60 Touch interface, just like the growth of LG.
Now we’ll try to take a look at the direction mobile technology took this year and we’ll again try to predict the future.
