The Future Of The iPhone Looks Beautiful

Mark me tardy on this entry as I’ve been tied up at work recently, but last week AT&T Mobility Chief Ralph de la Vega laid out AT&T’s futuristic vision for the iPhone and it is nothing short of something you’d see in Back to the Future.

Imagine this: even before your iPhone wakes you up with its alarm clock, it has already downloaded your morning news feeds and sent a message to your coffee maker to start brewing a fresh pot. If you’re more of a big screen guy/gal and want to read your morning news on a TV, no problem, just wave your iPhone toward the TV to throw your news on the big screen. Now you’ve gotten ready and it’s time to leave the house, no need for keys though, since your iPhone will be able to lock your doors as well as start your car. And don’t worry about the radio, either, because your iPhone will start reading the news feeds you didn’t have time to finish through its text-to-speech capabilities. Now you’re at work. You need to speak to some potential clients in the Far East but you don’t speak Chinese. Again, no problem, as your iPhone will handle automatic language translations in real time!

It’s easy to think of this as a bit far-fetched, and granted some of it may be at this juncture, but AT&T has historically been pretty good about reaching its visions and nobody can deny the revolutionary nature of the iPhone. Competitors like HTC and RIM are just now starting to come out with handsets that offer similar technologies — nearly two years since Apple first announced iPhone.

The beauty of it all is that every company will be looking to push the technological envelope like this, leading to better and faster (to market) technology for all. Isn’t competition just dandy?

    I tried using the contact page, but a form was not on the page.

    My boyfriend is first generation Polish. He has a very large family, most of whom speak little English, so I often struggle at family events. I have been considering buying books, cds, etc. but am not sure which to pick. Would you recommend any?

    Thanks!
