Future Development #5 - Phablets

Phone or tablet? Can't decide? Well now there's an answer to your problems...

...Phablets!

A phone-tablet, hence the name. Although the technology behind these isn't new and the idea isn't the most creative ever, they are slowly creeping their way into the market. There are a few very popular devices, mainly the Samsung Galaxy Note, HTC One Max, Nokia Lumia 1520 and iPad Mini, although the iPad Mini isn't really a phablet as it doesn't have the phone element.

Although some consumers hate the idea and see of it as a step backwards to the times of the 'brick' phone others like it, as it gives a mid-range alternative.

Like them or not, it will be interesting to see how these do in the market in the new few months.
