A new product in the form of a PC tablet measuring half a foolscap-sized piece of paper with a touch screen has further improved the notebook. However, to produce this device, Microsoft has teamed up with telecommunications vendors, like Samsung, for example, with a strong basis in cell phone technology.
Like it or not, cell phone manufacturers must immediately evaluate their products even faster. They can introduce improvements by adding the capability of accessing the 3G network now rapidly developing, for example. This situation demands that world cell phone producers should not only be more creative in design and provide more facilities but that they should be able to produce an intuitive modern device that keeps up with the development of communications technology.
