Kevin Werbach says that if you want to see what the future holds for mobile devices, you have to look at what’s happening in the world of portable storage:
A mobile phone with storage isn’t just an interface for rich media, applications, and files located elsewhere — it’s a full-fledged computer. There will be little reason to carry a separate camera, organizer, or music player. With a few gigabytes of stage, a mobile phone becomes a multipurpose information appliance. For businesspeople, it becomes the tool for carrying Powerpoint presentations and word-processing files, rather than lugging around a laptop. For the consumer, it becomes the repository for photos, movies and music. You’ll send copies of that content to a network server for backup or to share it with your friends, but you’ll still carry copies with you everywhere.
