Phones go big (again)
This is a Marketplace.org Reader
Remember the original cell phones–brick sized devices–that you carried around in their own case. We’ve moved on from the ultra-big… or at least it seemed like we had. For a while, small was all the rage. Razr anyone? But now, big is back. The WSJ and Reuters are reporting the next-gen IPhone will be 4 inches from corner to corner (current Iphones are 3.5 inches). And it will not make it the largest phone on the market. Samsung’s Galaxy S III will be nearly 5 inches. HTC also makes 4+ inch phones. That should make this guy happy.
