So where does the mobile phone sit in the eLandscape at the moment and where is it headed?
Well, currently, I think that in terms of social media the mobile phone is really rivalled only by Facebook. I would say that personally, I use Facebook for about 40% of my communication with my friends and my mobile phone for about 60%, give or take. However, when I consider that most of my friends do have a Facebook, there are still a few who don't and also, in terms of the older generation, mobile phones are definitely more popular.
In the years to come, I think that anyone who doesn't have a mobile phone already, will have one. Almost to the point that if mobile phone reception becomes completely reliable, there might actually be no need for landline phones. Furthermore, with their applications, internet access, email capabilities, as well as camera and camcorder functions - mobile phones are already making multi-tasking and the use of one 'screen' for multiple practices a reality.
I found this particular article on the site for The Huffington Post - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/05/future-phones-the-coolest_n_450678.html?slidenumber=7MJ7fOgMLYQ%3D&slideshow#slide_image
