Article Body: Today the Apple iPod is leading the market in the portable music player industry, having sold around million iPods since they were released. But some people are now saying like the Apple Macintosh once an industry leader the iPod will also become a memory. Looking to the near future at the main competition for the Apple iPod are the new age mobile phones. Not only do they have the normal features of a mobile phone but theyre also adopting a higher standard of digital camera and a built in MP player. Unless Apple decides to bring the iPod into the mobile phone industry, we may see them move to the back of the shelf at ebay.

Below are an example of some already available mobile phones that incorporate the higher standard digital camera and MP player:

Motorola MPx Siemens SX Sony Ericsson Pi Sony Ericsson Wi

Looking at the Sony Ericsson Wi, this mobile phone offers a mega pixel digital camera with video recording capability. Also a built in MP player and the phone comes with a mb Memory Stick PRO Duo. This maybe only capable of holding around music tracks or - full length CDs. You can upgrade the memory stick to GB doubling the storage capacity.

Obviously the Sony Ericsson Wi does not have the storage capacity of a GB iPod video, but looking at the technology trends everything is getting smaller with higher storage capacity.

Once mobile phones have a higher storage limit (GB) they will also have the capability of playing MP. Then your every day mobile phone will be a Phone, Camera, MP music player and an MP video player which fits in your pocket.
