The app market has transformed the phone into a virtual toolbox with a solution for almost every need. Original car phones and bag phones were as large as modern day computers and just as heavy.

He recalls reviewing focus group results while working with Ericsson GE Mobile in the mids. Though the phone may have functioned perfectly well, their opinion was partially driven by the perception that the phone was simply too small.

Just in recent years, cell phone designs have actually started to become larger and simpler, making room for a larger screen and less buttons. Because phones have become mobile media devices, the most desirable aspect is a large, clear, high-definition screen for optimal web viewing.
