What's next for phones? Size seems settled. Screen quality is now tapped out. Battery life is at a wall. Cameras are there. Local storage space lost to cloud services. They're pretty powerful, for a non-gamer. What's going to make me covet my next phone? (force touch!)
Someone will tell me there is such a thing, but: why don't I have a thin-client similar to a netbook (or tablet) that expands my phone when it's in proximity? I have duplicated internals on my phone, tablet, and laptop. It looks to me like all the pieces, hardware and software, are there to do this today for android (and it could be prototyped: BlueStacks <http://www.bluestacks.com/>). The phone is just the smallest central module in an ecosystem of UI devices, rather than one stand-alone device of many. I'd go for that! --j
