The Future of the iPhone in 5 years. The iPhone will be a Mac.

wont happen. this is a stupid idea/concept.


iphone will have to have two different versions of OSX one for multi-touch or one for the dock, unless the dock will have the OS on it which would be stupid (unless its an OS stored in ROM)..

the dock will have to have the graphics card etc.

Maybe not exactly like this but I foresee consumer grade computers, phones, mp3 players all merging in the future. Static monitors acting like a shell that once the "computer" is taken out of your pocket and plugged in suddenly act like a full computer with the large monitor. We're already getting there with mini HDD's that are ferried between home and work. A larger leap in that direction is a mini computer.

Ok

I think it is a definite possibility that apple products will go towards these types of things.
Computers are going to get so much more powerful in the coming years.
Hopefully with the better incorporation of OLED products can become larger and thinner at the same time allowing for a possible very portable touch computer os some sort (they also require a lot less energy).
I think that many things will start to become portable in the next 25 years with better and thinner batteries (tape thin batteries being developed by MIT) better way to store information( incorporation of memristor ) and OLED which will maybe be able to fold and awesome stuff like that.
I can't wait for the next gen of computers.
