Telecoms industry survey predicts early dawn of all-in-one mobile handset

A survey, conducted by world-leading 3G handset manufacturer, LG Electronics, at Busan ITU Telecom Asia 2004, indicates that the convergence of a host of devices and availability of a range of applications on mobile handsets could have a major impact on the separate markets for digital cameras and video cameras, reports ITWeb.

"Of the respondents from the IT industry and IT media, 95% said it was very likely consumers will eventually choose a single converged 3G device (combining phone, camera, video camera, MP3 and others) over multiple devices. Of these, 72% expect to see the transition within the next two years and 24% within three to five years."
