Some new cell phones are apparently going to tackle things like measuring particles in the air, aka, breathalizer, carbon monoxide detecting, and a few others. Further they'll be able to take someone's pulse and measure sunlight and so on.
Basically we'll have a device in our hands, in the real world, that does more stuff than the fantastical sci-fi star trek tricorders could do. Don't tell me you never tried making that "bebebe" noise when flipping open a cell phone.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
