With the recent trend in wireless technology advancing from camera, video camera, bluetooth, MP3, GPA navigation/location apps, etc...I'm wondering what the next BIG advancement will be? My guess is something that will be compatible with cars like a wireless remote or something. Seems as though VZW is head of the class in data services but I'll think they'll go outside the box with the next innovation (*sigh*...passed on the iPhone 😕 ).

What's your educated guess??

RFID chips. This is already in testing, but applications are:
Touch-pay debit/credit card in a phone
Autopair Bluetooth, touching the phone and bluetooth together and tada
touch transfer pics/files. With a phone on the screen touch to another phone, computer or even digital picture frame.
RFID could even open locks on your house or start your cars.

So... your phone can be your wallet and your keys

down-side.... Someone stole my phone

RFID is going to be sweet. It will change the way we do business on a lot of levels. And should make things faster and more efficient in commerce.

I think battery life will also an advancement in the next two years. Who cares about all of these features if your phone dies after one full day!
