According to this Reuters report, many of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers and network operators have agreed to develop, 'an advanced mobile phone standard capable of sending high-resolution video in an instant'.

Or will be happy lugging around our retro phones while using the lovely PSP for all our gaming and video needs?
Is there really a mass market for an all-in-one mobile device? Hmm, ask Nokia...
