Since smartphones and tablets really jumped into the consumer space, there has been a push to ensure they become the definitive all in one device. That is to say they are to control (or be integrated into) every aspect of your life, if you think about it there are 'apps' for everything, and you can use NFC to pay for things etc. Again recently companion devices such as smart watches seem to be gaining ground, but what I'm really trying to gauge is the future trends for such devices
As far as I can determine there is a push towards the "internet of things", and I believe you're smartphone will integrate into that idea quite well, also I believe in the future we may see more diverse companion devices for absolutely anything you can think of. Finally you've got your bump in specs and "look at how good the camera on this thing is" trends.
So, what are everyone's opinions on this?
