The No. 1 Prediction: Big data will become big business. While the scale of data generated by mobile sensors, services and applications presents challenges to network providers, the data itself can provide insight into consumer behavior and allow service providers to anticipate future patterns. Hence, 2013 will see not only continuing, dramatic growth in consumer data usage, but a far greater demand for actionable, predictive analytics solutions from players across the mobile value chain, although in some countries adoption may be tempered by concerns about consumer privacy and data protection.

The other nine trends, which are explained in detail in a free report, are:

1. Smart glasses and other head-mounted displays developed by Apple, Microsoft and Google will provide a multitude of functions either independently or in conjunction with third-party platforms.
2. The “bring your own device” trend will continue in the workplace, bringing with it increased risks for corporate espionage and other security threats and necessitating a global overhaul of critical security structures.
3. In an effort to combine and monetize online and offline revenue chains, retail will embrace in-store mobile strategies, including a proliferation of free-to-the-public WiFi hotspots and increased usage of QR codes and other electronic product-demonstration techniques.
4. Mobile network operators will adopt new standards and initiatives for seamless WiFi and LTE connectivity, thereby relieving some of the pressure on overburdened 3G and 4G networks.
5. Mobile will replace hardwired devices as the primary “connectivity hub” for an increasing array of everyday items equipped for wireless connectivity, resulting in widespread adoption of the “Internet of Things.”
6. The Surface Tablet and Windows 8 will help Microsoft — traditionally a bit of a laggard in the mobile realm — exploit its nascent potential as traditional computing becomes more mobile.
7. Content and applications will become common and increasingly synchronized across both fixed and mobile devices as the long-rumored multi-screen, seamless user experience becomes reality, thanks in part to cloud computing.
8. New mobile and tablet form factors will emerge, giving rise to convertible devices that combine touch-screen technology and traditional keyboards with bendable, twistable, foldable and rollable devices.
9. Social gaming will rise to prominence, with real-money and free games tightly integrating with major social networks — particularly in the EU but also possibly in the U.S

1. HTC One X1. HTC One X
Mobile gadgets may be multiplying like rabbits over at Samsung, but HTC wants you to know that it’s still just as relevant as ever. The company that broke mobile ground with the HTC Evo 4G has a new flagship phone in store: the HTC One X. The One X will run its own flavor of the hot new Android 4.0 operating system out of the box, and with support for 4G LTE, NFC for nifty tricks like Google Wallet, Beats audio, and a huge 4.7″, stunning 720p Super LCD2 screen. Unfortunately, the the U.S. version won’t pack a monster quad-core processor like its European counterpart, but this powerhouse still looks to give Samsung’s army of Galaxy devices a run for its money. Watch for it on AT&T within the next few months.

2. Nokia 808 PureView
Nokia has a handsome new line of top-notch Windows phones, but the company loves to pull out all the stops when it comes to cameras. The Nokia 808 PureView isn’t up to the Lumia line’s standards in nearly every regard, but it does boast an absolutely absurd 41MP camera. The phone includes support for up to 48GB of expandable memory for all of those pixels, but since it runs on Nokia’s own operating system rather than Windows Phone or Android we can’t imagine it seeing any kind of mainstream adoption. Nokia’s 808 PureView may be little more than marketing stunt, especially considering that HTC’s Titan II Windows phone combines mega-megapixelage with an actually otherwise respectable phone, but it’s still an interesting feat from a company looking to revitalize its brand with some seriously stunning smartphone optics.

3. Galaxy Beam3. Samsung Galaxy Beam
Your head might be reeling from trying to untangle the web of Samsung’s Galaxy-branded devices, but the Galaxy Beam does have a pretty notable trick up its sleeve. As its name would suggest (in a refreshing turn of logical gadget-naming), the Beam packs a built-in projector so you can share images, video, or presentations on your surface of choice up to 50″ wide, which sure beats taking turns peering into its 4″ screen. The notably bright 15 lumens projector can keep its charge for three straight hours of projected video playback, which should meet most professional needs — we’d definitely nod off somewhere in the second hour of PowerPoint slides. The phone runs on an older version of Android (2.3) for the time being, but Samsung claims that Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is en route.

4. Lumia 6104. Nokia Lumia 610
Windows smartphones are arguably just as capable as the Android and iOS devices on the market, but they’ve remained a tough sell due to Windows Phone 7′s late entry into the mobile fray. With the Lumia 610 — a new entry-level Windows handset — Nokia hopes to lure customers in with a list of features and a bare-bones price point.

Being touted as the “most affordable” Lumia smartphone, the 610 is equipped with all the social networking and media functionality you’d expect from a Windows Phone device, including Twitter, Facebook, as well as integrated GPS and music apps. The phone is being marketed to a somewhat younger audience, and its rounded chassis will be available in multiple colors to broaden its appeal. If your interest is piqued by Nokia’s Lumia line but the high-end Lumia 900 looks like overkill, the 610 might just be the phone for you.

5. Asus PadFone5. Asus PadFone
While some companies are attempting to blur the line between tablet and smartphone, Asus has a different plan: a phone that fits inside a tablet. The new PadFone — aside from having the most literal name of any handset we’ve ever seen — is a high-end Android 4.0 smartphone featuring a 4.3″ HD display, 8-megapixel camera, and a speedy Snapdragon S processor.

These stats alone would make it a worthy contender for your smartphone bucks, but the PadFone has another trick up its sleeve: an optional tablet accessory that not only stretches the smartphone’s display to 10.1″, but also. extends its battery life. When plugged in to the tablet, you can use the PadFone just as you would any other Android tablet, and even take calls as you normally would using a Bluetooth headset. The PadFone is scheduled to ship in April, though pricing for the handset and its accessories have not yet been revealed.

Keep in mind that most of these phones won’t be hitting shelves for a while yet, so carrier and pricing details are scarce. Still, it’s not a bad idea to know what’s on the horizon before you sign in blood on your next two-year carrier contract — especially since this wave of devices has some compelling quirks.

But mobile phones stand apart in an important way. In United States high schools, 98% of students have access to some kind of smartphone, according to a report by Blackboard and Project Tomorrow.

Students around the world are increasingly bringing their own mini-computers (or some connected device) to class. Whether this creates a distraction or a boon to learning is debatable, but these four uses of mobile phones in education — and countless others — could one day help prove the latter.

1. Inquiry-Based Learning

Abilene Christian University (ACU) began equipping its students with iPods and iPhones in 2008 (now students can also choose an iPad).

Faculty have used the presence of phones in their classrooms in numerous creative ways. The theater department put on an interactive production of Othello, the student newspaper launched an iPad version and teachers have used phones to facilitate discussions on controversial topics.

The phones have also helped create a teaching style that the faculty refer to as “mobile-enhanced inquiry-based learning” — combining mobile phones and a learning theory that teaches through experimentation and questioning.

2. Flipping the Classroom

In many ACU classes, one component of mobile implementation is lecture podcasts, which allow students to consume much of the information typically delivered in the classroom on their own time and in their own dorm rooms.

The idea is to free up teachers during class time for interacting with students and working through problems, a concept known as “flipping the classroom.”

It also allows students to pause and repeat information that they find confusing, and they can work at their own pace.

Flipping the classroom is certainly possible without putting a mobile device in the hands of every student, and many universities — including UC Berkeley and MIT — have long made lectures available online, but Harapnuik says that doing so with a mobile component is an advantage.

3. Reinventing the Textbook

“Textbooks are always the wrong information, in the wrong order, at the wrong price, at the wrong weight in my backpack,” says Jed Macosko, an associate professor of physics at Wake Forest University.

Macosko is the co-founder of a project that aims to transform the textbook so that it complies with How People Learn (literally, it’s inspired by a book of that title).

The result thus far is BioBook, a device-agnostic, peer-written, node-driven text. In other words, it’s like Wikipedia on steroids.

In his classes, Macosko asks his students to write short one-concept nodes, which they then link with other nodes on the same subject. When a student opens the book, currently hosted on a wiki, he can click around the nodes to learn a subject in whatever order makes sense to him.

“It’s important to have the student engaged in connecting facts in a framework in their mind,” Macosko says. “When you learn a fact, you basically hang it on a hook of some pre-existing structure in your brain.”

In a pilot project of the book, students preferred the book over their traditional textbooks (no assessments were taken to see if BioBook resulted in deeper understanding). A final version of the book, which will be piloted at four universities starting in September, will include analytics, multimedia, short quizzes and other options for teachers to interact with students.

4. Teaching Hard-To-Reach Communities

In the report from the United Nation’s International Telecommunication Union, mobile penetration rates in developing countries were expected to reach 68% by the end of 2010.

The prevalence of mobile phones has led many education efforts to come to the same conclusion as Michael Trucano, senior ICT and education policy specialist at the World Bank.

“Broadband will come, but it will not come quickly enough. Computers, as we think of them sitting on someone’s lap or on a desktop, will come, but not quickly enough. Phones are already there … We think there’s a real opportunity there to explore.”

Trucano cautions that there aren’t a lot of mobile education initiatives in developing countries that have reached scale. But there are several promising projects.

In Pakistan, for instance, one group of educators recently began experimenting with sending SMS quizzes to students. After the student answers a question, he receives an automated response, which varies depending on whether the answer was correct.

Others — like the text2teach program in the Philippines and the BridgeIT program in Tanzania — use phones to deliver educational video content to classrooms. The Human Development Lab at Carnegie Mellon University runs a program called MILLEE, which has used custom mobile games to teach language in India for the past seven years (the program has also expanded to rural China and sub-Saharan Africa)

Ramesh Raskar knew fixing this problem would be tricky. It required a new way of thinking about eye tests–and a new kind of device, one powerful enough to support high-resolution visuals, cheap enough to scale, and simple enough to be used by just about anyone. The MIT professor briefly toyed with stand-alone options, which were complicated and costly. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out an unexpected savior: his iPhone.

“The displays had gotten so good, thanks to people wanting to watch episodes of Lost in high definition,” Raskar recalls. “I was immediately energized.”

By creating an app and attachment for the popular smartphone, Raskar could tap into a huge existing user base and skirt millions in distribution and manufacturing costs. The result: a plastic clip-on eyepiece that uses an on-screen visual test to determine a patient’s “refractive error” (a number doctors then use to dole out prescriptions). When his startup, EyeNetra, begins market testing later this year in Brazil, India, and Mexico–and eventually in the U.S.–its tech will deliver all the functionality of an optometrist’s costly machine for less than $30.

This is the thrilling, disruptive potential of “mHealth,” the rapidly growing business of using mobile technology in health care. Leveraging the wonders of a device that’s fast becoming ubiquitous–two in three people worldwide own a cell phone–a new generation of startups is building apps and add-ons that make your handheld work like high-end medical equipment. Except it’s cheaper, sleeker, and a lot more versatile. “It’s like the human body has developed a new organ,” says Raja Rajamannar, chief innovation officer at Humana. Smartphones can already track calories burned and miles run, and measure sleep patterns. By 2013, they’ll be detecting erratic heartbeats, monitoring tremors from Parkinson’s disease, and even alerting you when it’s prime time to make a baby.

At stake is the future of health care–and a share of the $273 billion medical-device industry, which is dominated by the likes of GE and Philips. Although today’s mHealth market barely tops $2 billion, experts predict that number will skyrocket over the next decade as smartphones get smarter and patients lose, well, patience with the high costs and hassles of health care. “Why prescribe a $1,000 test in the hospital when all you need is a heart rate?” asks Leslie Saxon, a cardiologist who heads the University of Southern California’s Center for Body Computing. With inexpensive new technology, she notes, “I could tell a patient to go to the drugstore and buy an ECG [electrocardiogram] sensor for her phone.”
