The mobile phone in your pocket is set to get fancier, if some of the products on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, US, take off.
Leading companies are showcasing gadgets that close the gap between the phone and the handheld computer.
They are hoping to persuade the consumer to pay that little bit more for a mobile or a personal digital assistant that does it all.
"One of the underlying trends at the show is idea of convergence - features and functions coming together in a single device," said Sean Wargo, a senior analyst with the Consumer Electronics Association.
