HD video recording coming to mobile phonesActually, 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.
