Infographics: Evolution of the Mobile Phone

Mobile phone took a long way to get where it is today, boasting more processing power than some PCs few years ago. Thanks to PDT.com, we can graphically show you that road, from the influence of “Star Trek,” “Saved By The Bell” and Barbie to the first text message, iPhone and more.

The years ahead will be equally interesting with devices like the Asus Padfone and Eee Transformer potentially replacing computers for some people who just need to check their email, write documents and do other basic tasks. Of course, we’ll be here to keep you in the loop with the latest innovations. In the meantime, check out the mentioned infographics…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    It turns out Nokia didn’t have any impact on mobile phone industry. Why is that, OP? Scared your taskmaster would cut your share if you ever mentioned Nokia?

      Obviously Motorola has been the forerunner…

        and Nokia hasn’t???

        No mention of the Nokia N95, or any of the communicator models.

        Motorola only was the front runner 1970 – 1985, it has been up and mostly down since then..  specially the past 10 years.

        Nokia has introduced the most revolutionary models on the market, and the only mention  is  Nokia 1100?   …  for instance the first smartphone…  The first touchscreen mobile .. Nokia.

        Where is the Nokia N900? by the way..

    Agreed on the Nokia part. Not sure why they haven’t included the Finnish company to the list.

  • Bhavanishankar

    ha ha,, funny that the Nokia is not included here…

    Why looks like that the iPhone launches on 1997?

    Confusing and dirty
