In the 90's phone manufacturers tried doubling down on one of the main selling features: size. I saw phones almost as small as a Zippo lighter on the market before the industry regained its sanity. Today we're similarly going to the extremes of screen size + thinness. I believe once the industry once again regains its sanity, we might see a new form factor: 1. Smaller, egg-shaped 'pods' that fit more comfortably in your palm and pocket, something along the lines of: http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/05/05/mobile-phone-shaped-like-and-egg-sorta/ http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/05/05/mobile-phone-shaped-li... 2. Thicker, but less dense and more durable (think Nokia 3310) 3. Some form of innovative physical scroll/click control on the edges of the device to alleviate thumb-scrolling (perhaps a pressure sensor with no moving parts) 4. Perhaps even a control on the rear side of the device, that can be activated with the index finger (for single handed operation)
