HD Video Cell Phones Coming Next Year

Due to ubiquitous TV ads and what appears to be a pretty cool device, the Apple iPhone is the most-anticipated new technology product of the year. However, you may want to wait until next year before plunking down $500 on your next mobile phone because by then, you should be able to watch HD video on it.

Texas Instruments is working on the third generation of OMAP processors and the two biggest features are items that a few years ago weren't even part of a cell phone: cameras and camcorders. In addition to 768p HD video capabilities, these new phones will also have 12 megapixel digital cameras with the option of a burst mode taking four 3-megapixel photos one right after another.
