The radio-phone will soon be more exciting than the camera-phone? How about the video-phone? Or the XM-satellite phone, a Skype phone, or a Yahoo phone?

There’s just no way of knowing what else we will pack into our cell phones. If radio gets as popular as the buzz around it suggests, our MP3 players may suddenly do more than store and play music. Today two models made their debut at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics show: the Inno (by Pioneer) and the Helix XM2go from Samsung. See This Washington Post story.

Then there is WiMax (the broadband wireless standard) and EvDo (that stands for Evolution Data Optimized) to watch out for. These will allow streaming of video, and high-speed internet access to phone-like devices. Think detachable car stereos, wrist watches etc. The WiMax forum, is a non-profit group comprised of hundreds of companies such as BellCanada and Samsung, Ericcson and Motorola. Even those like Time Warner and Saudi Aramco are in the wings.
