Hey Consumers: Cellphones Are Getting Smaller, Again
The trend of portable technology continues to grow in popularity, causing devices like the cellphone to keep getting smaller. Let’s consider the evolution of the phone in the last few decades. Once, it was just a basic, land-line unit with cords of limited length and then the cordless phone was created. After that, the development of the cellphone came and most units have been about the size of small two-way walkie talkies. Now phones have gotten even smaller.
Take a moment to imagine a cellphone being the size of a portable mirror. That’s what Qiao Sheng has recently developed. They call it the A45. The device comes in a high lacquered finish and has a display which can be rotated through 180 degrees. The phone’s display is a 2.2” mirror-sized touch screen and the device has a user interface. Furthermore, the A45 is also equipped with a camera that uses 3 Megapixels. Unfortunately, there wasn’t information available at this time concerning the price of this new product.
Of course, the creation of this smaller cellphone shouldn’t be surprising since most electronic devices are currently made to attract the consumer not only based on new technological features but also greater accessibility and convenience. Seriously, if you had told me thirty years ago that phones would become the size of a small hand mirror, I wouldn’t have believed you. With Bluetooth headsets currently being made compatible for use with most phones, it may just be a matter of time before hand phones no longer exist. So enjoy your current phone as long as you can. It’s probably still cheaper than the latest stuff out there and the new tech that will come after it.

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
