By the end of this year they'll have 4-5 inch 3D screens, and quad core processors rivaling the older core2 dual cores in our laptops. They'll probably integrate 64GB of memory and at least 2GB of ram sometime in 2012. Speeds are doubling every 14 months or so, as opposed to the 24 months Moore's law used to dictate. That's because besides doubling transistor count, we're also integrating components and being a bit more clever in design. When we can't do this anymore, we'll be using wireless tech for cloud computing to speed things even faster. Smartphone development marks the fastest technological evolution we've ever seen, indeed, the fastest evolution of anything on Earth, ever.
With this trend, I think in 4-6 years, they'll be as fast as our latest desktop quad cores. They should have two high quality lenses, further apart then they are now, with the software to determine location, and what the phone is looking at. We should have found some way to improve viewing angles on these 3D screens by then. A simple form of IBM's Watson speech recognition should be implemented, so that we can easily command it to do a number of things with natural, comfortable speech commands. They'll be thinner of course, basically metal slates with a large screen. Memory and RAM will be increased by a factor of 4-8 over the 2012 figures I mentioned and we'll be well into the 5th generation of wireless internet speeds, maybe we'll break 8Gb speeds. Meaning we'll be able to download large programs and movies in a couple seconds.
Maybe the rest of you have some insight, predictions for actual innovations. Good ways to harness all that processor power.
