Smallest Mobile Phones Ever

The appearance of mobile (cell) phones have evolved almost beyond recognition over the years. They once resembled hard-back books, and now you can find phones smaller than a pack of chewing gum. However, as people began to demand more of their phones, such as wanting them to include cameras and MP3 players for example, phones started getting bigger again. Many of the newer 'smart phones' benefit from better design and functionality, but suffer from bulkiness when compared to lots of their predecessors. Not all is lost though as phones are getting back on the wagon.

As mobile Internet connectivity becomes increasing more widespread and the speeds continue to increase almost daily, there is a dwindling need to store all your applications and files on the phone itself. Instead of the phone hosting all the information, your games, files and applications can be fed in from somewhere else when required. What this means then is that phones can be stripped down to their bare bones essentially, and they will actively adapt to suit the needs they are required for at the time.

A central information hub that is kept at home, or better yet with your network provider, would essentially act as the phone's database. This hub will contain all your programs, songs, pictures etc, and will be able to feed them to your phone in an instant. You will still need a certain amount of hardware in the phone, such as a camera and other electrical components, but you will be able to save huge amounts of space where memory, processors and mini fan accessories would normally be found. This means then that phones could be not much bigger than cable ties and you could even wear them as accessories such on a necklace or as a wrist-band. Breaking free of the weight and size that phones have had to comply with in years gone by could spawn a whole new era for them.
