Sweet Convergence
Cell-phone Manufactures are taking bold steps by incorporating other devices in there handsets these days. I am very impressed with the Capability, Style and Size of these multipurpose phones, which gives me a clear signal of what to expect in the future.
Some of today’s integrated goodies that are becoming more and more popular across models are: Bluetooth (Wireless), Digital camera, Infrared transmission (IrDA), GSM/GPRS integrated Modem, FM Radio, and the ability to download Java applications.
Phones with these wonder functionalities have found there way in Jamaica due largely in part to Digicell. They were the first to introduce handset on the GSM platform with the above listed features. So as to compete, cable and wireless is now introducing handsets that are a little better in feature.
I Will be getting an Ipaq pocketPC h3970 from the US in two weeks time which as Bluetooth onboard. I will shortly acquire a nokia 6310 phone which also as Bluetooth onboard and a GSM Modem, and guess what will happen then folks. I will have the ability to surf, Send mail, and IM having the phone possibly in my pocket acting as a modem with the Bluetooth linkage between the two devices. This is no dream my friends; I have done a similar activity with my previous PalmV and my nokia 6210 via IrDA, but unlike Infrared transmission (IrDA) Bluetooth in not line of site ;D .
Peace,
Kacey.
