NEW YORK - Still using your cell phone just to make phone calls? How
passe.

If the seers are correct, within a year your cell phone will be
capable of live television, music downloads and playback, videogames,
storing movie clips and viewing everything from photo albums to
digital home movies. In short, more than you may have ever thought
possible.

Of course, there are high hurdles to clear before all this great stuff
happens -- complex rights agreements, conflicting technology standards
and the sometimes fractious relationship between carriers and content
providers -- but everyone involved has a stake in making it work. How
big a stake? It's almost too big to put a number on.

Pacific Crest Securities, which hosted a mobile entertainment
conference in New York on May 6, believes the sector will be the next
driver for growth in the technology industry, and the dominant
investment opportunity for the next decade.
