Death of a smartphone: 4G could spell the end of the mobile as we know it

With storage costs and power requirements dropping and mobile internet useage being quite expensive (at least here it is) moving to 'the cloud'/thin clients for mobile phones would serve the telcos better than it would suit most users.
