CTIA Wireless 2005 - What to expect
We've yet to get over CeBIT, and here comes the CTIA wireless show, beginning on Monday. CNN reports on what to expect.
"Industry insiders say the most popular phones will have advanced functions that are simple to customize for individual tastes - imagine a phone screen with both a fertility monitor and share prices for an executive who wants to conceive.
Mobile companies are betting consumers will soon use phones for everything from viewing television shows and music videos to serious chores like studying and medical examinations .
While the loudest buzz at CTIA will come from trendy themes like music and photographs, developments geared toward better organizing the multitude of new features on phones will be the unsung heroes of the show.
Nokia will also show off a handset that can receive live TV. It plans to sell such phones in 2006. Qualcomm will also talk up a rival TV technology it plans to unveil next year."
