Mobiles becoming 'media channels'

"What you will see is more use of buying a download that you can use as a ringtone, or video streaming with it rather than just the ringtone," Simon Dyson, senior analyst at Informa told the BBC News website.

With increasing connectedness on mobiles - the ability to get straight onto the net - big media companies, such as Disney, will be able to offer content directly to people too.

"The mobile industry seems to think that people will always pay for mobility," added Jessica Sandin, principle analyst at Informa.

"I think we will see more bundled services, at lower rates and so on. It is about user experience at the end of the day."

According to BBC's Long life mobile battery 'vital'

" there is an appetite among consumers for powerful new applications, particularly those around entertainment media and imaging," said Hanis Harun, from TNS.

"However, the research also indicates that consumers now fully realise that such applications require enhanced battery life and increased memory and they are demanding these improvements as a priority."
