Wi-Fi equipped handsets to double through 2010

by Brian Osborne

Mobile phones which offer a dual mode of both Cellular and Wi-Fi service have been growing in popularity. According to ABI Research, they believe that demand for dual-mode phones will be so great that shipments will double from 2008 through 2010. Michael Morgan, an industry analyst, states that over the past year, “there has been an explosion of Wi-Fi capable phones”.

Just because a phone has Wi-Fi doesn’t necessarily mean that people are using it. HTC’s mobile phone lineup consists of 80% which are Wi-Fi equipped, buy only 10% of users are actually using the Wi-Fi connectivity. Compare that to 75% of iPhone users who utilize a Wi-Fi connection because of the ease of use offered by the handheld. The predictions made by ABI Research are based on a new research study called “Wi-Fi Capable Handsets“.

As prevelant as Wi-Fi is becoming I would be shocked if ABI Research’s prediction doesn’t come true. I have an iPod touch and I use the heck out of it’s Wi-Fi connectivity. If I had a mobile phone with Wi-Fi connectivity I would probably use it even more to browse online. Wi-Fi is definitely the way to go for most mobile phone manufacturers.

Samsung cell phones powered with water by 2010

It’s a nice science project to create a potato powered clock or water powered calculator but Samsung thinks it will be producing water-powered cell phones by 2010 using fuel cell technology. Right now we spend a majority of our time trying to keep our phones away from water but not even this technological leap will save your cell phone from a dip in any water source.

Cnet reports the technology works like this, when the phone is turned on a reaction occurs between the metal and water which produces hydrogen gas which is channeled to a fuel cell which reacts with oxygen in the air which generates power.

Samsung claims this type of battery could last up to 10 hours and by Samsung’s usage calculations would have to be replaced every five days. Its next development would be a water based power system that doesn’t rely on the hydrogen cartridge.

While that’s all well and good, let’s hope that fuel cell systems are a little less volatile than its Lithium-ion counterparts.

If it works out, I wonder how long it will be before we have water powered cars? Even by 2010, I think that large-scale fuel cell systems will still be rather expensive.
