Actually, it might be a little sooner than the year 3000. Nokia envisions a future (hopefully a short-term future) where our mobile phones will be able record video in full HD-quality. It’s going to be a few years, but we should be sufficiently distracted with higher-megapixel cameras and ever faster data connection in the meantime - dare I mention ever more innovative UI’s? “It’s coming. Technically, we are a couple of years away,” Nokia’s Chief Technology Officer Tero Ojanpera told Reuters in an interview. “It’s still a few years away.” And, with Nokia’s ability to crank out high-tech handsets out of Espoo like none-other, there’s no doubt that we’ll be seeing some sort of HD recording through Carl Zeiss optics. If not Nokia, then another manufacturer is bound to eventually bring HD-quality video recording to market. We may soon be using HDTV-lingo while shopping for our mobile phones. What’s that? You want a phone with an 8 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, broadband-killing wireless data, GPS, and a 720p HD video camera? No problem, just grab your checkbook.

SRS Labs’ is known for their sound enhancing SRS WOW technology found in many portable music players. So, what are they doing in the mobile space? Well, it seems that SRS Labs’ SRS WOW HD sound enhancing technology has piqued the interest of electronic gear-maker IOGEAR. The pair has teamed up to bring SRS WOW HD to the new IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport - the perfect match to stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled phone. The IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport is basically an audio gateway that promises to “dramatically improve the audio performance of content played on any Bluetooth-enabled audio device.” Streaming Bluetooth audio from your mobile phone is picked up by the IOGEAR Bluetooth Audio Transport, cleaned up with SRS technology, and pushed to your headphones/earphones. There’s even a microphone on the Bluetooth Audio Transport for when you want to have a crystal-clear sounding phone conversation. IOGEAR’s Bluetooth Audio Transport with SRS WOW HD sound-enhancement will run you about $80 from your favorite electronics retailer. Availability - now. Now, if only our iPhone had Bluetooth audio capabilities. Hmmmm, maybe there’s an update on the way that might enable such a feature.

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is almost as ubiquitous is today’s mobilized society as the mobile phone itself. With GSM networks covering the world, it’s no wonder that the SIM card is as widely used as it is. Well, Infineon has announced that it will be working with chip-making giant Intel to develop high-density (HD) SIM cards boasting 32-bit security and 4MB - 64MB of on-board storage for “data-intensive mobile applications, services and over-the-air downloads.” Infineon will be developing the 32-bit security micro-controller, while Intel will be bringing their “leading-edge flash memory technologies, capabilities and manufacturing” prowess to the table. These types of HD SIM cards should make up 8-10% of the total SIM card market in 2010, so Infineon’s joint venture might just pay off in a couple years. We’re expecting to see samples of the first HD SIM cards in Q2 of 2008, with mass production slated for the first half of 2009.
