Windows Phone Thoughts: NEC, Samsung Plan for Smaller Digital Devices

"Japan's NEC and South Korea's Samsung Electronics each announced Monday the development of new devices that should enable designers to make portable electronics devices even smaller. NEC said it has developed a new type of liquid crystal display panel that requires one fifth the number of connecting wires that a current display requires, while Samsung said it has succeeded in cramming a microprocessor and two types of memory into a single chip package. On its own, each development only means a slight reduction in space requirements, but taken together and combined with constant advances in other technologies they add up to smaller or more feature-rich products in the future."
