Mobile phones advance in their technology almost every day it seems. It was not so long ago that games were the latest thing for phones to have and decent camera phones have only been with us a few years.Some cynics claim that cell phone producers only wheel technology out that they have a had for a long time when they want people to buy a new phone. This may be true but it is still the case that phone technology is moving forwards at an alarming rate and it’s amazing how much Winchester electronics they are now stuffing in those little boxes. So which are the latest gadgets to storm the cell phone world?

Projectors. How amazing would it be if you could watch the videos on your phone but with a 50″ picture rather than a 3″ display? Well the latest phones are offering just that and include a powerful built-in projector using LED filament replacements that can be used to project any image visible on the screen. The most commercial phone to offer this is the Samsung I7410. Which is set to be properly released UK and US shortly. There is even talk of a newer version that uses new trackside communications cable technology that projects HD images.

Friend location. If keeping track of the locations of your acquaintances is something that interests you, Apple could soon become your best friend. They have recently launched a new service that will link you to all your friends who have the same technology and show you on a map where they all are. You’ll be happy to know that people have to opt in for this service so people cannot just see where you are automatically, although caution is still advised.
