TV and data services for mobile phones are picking up steam.

With the New Year comes a lot of buzz from the phone industry. Regular cell phones are getting smaller, smarter, and lighter, and a host of new network services, like higher-speed data transmission, are making them more useful. There's also a new breed of handsets packing digital TV reception--examples are in this month's roundup of hot gadgets. Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we're sure to see, as well, phones with advanced features like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephony.
Like 2006, the coming year will also be marked by fierce competition among vendors. In some cases that means the products you want will be cheaper, while in other cases, price will remain unchanged but the number of features will increase. Those trends have been happening for the last few years, and to the dismay of gadget makers, they look set to continue as vendors battle to become king of the digital age.
