"Imagine the device that unites everything that you carry along: a [mobile phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cmf-phone-mini), a player, your credit and discount cards, your apartment and your car keys. We have imagined it and now introduce you to the future." (Plus Minus)

The device in size of a credit card 54x85,6 mm (C'ALL) will replace all those. Moreover it can work as:

- Video phone. Before making a call you can choose an operator of a mobile communication.
- All credit and discount cards that you have. The built in program will prompt an optimum variant for discounts at the given payment place.
- The remote control for any device. It can simultaneously display a teleschedule and recommendations of your favourite site.
- Keys from doors of houses and cars you have an authorization to.
- GPS-system that can automatically upload aerial photos from the Internet.
- Library, video- and music shop. You can read, listen to and whatch all that at your choise. Go to a public online library or buy all that you want in any shop of the world.
- Gaming device with support of network gaming (remember that you have a GPS and the virtual reality becomes quite real).
