Mobile phone showcase reveals upcoming trends
Expect solar phones, iPhone look-alikes and standardised chargers in the coming year, concludes the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.BARCELONA – The mobile phone industry's biggest trade show wrapped up Thursday after four days that delivered exciting news for technophiles, average phone users and even environmentalists.
Mobile World Congress brought its usual flurry of demonstrations and announcements that revealed the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead.
"The thing that made the biggest noise this year was application stores," Jeremy Green, head mobile analyst at research consultancy Ovum, told AFP. "You weren't there if you didn't have an application store."

Apple launched its AppStore in 2008, which enables users of the top-selling iPhone to download extra applications that personalise the handset and increase its usefulness.
