Phones as key tools

I was again thinking how phones nowadays are able to perform tasks beyond "making a call", such as playing music, taking pictures, be miniature gaming systems, accessing the Internet, serving as devices to watch movies on, making video calls, etc. It made me think some more, "what if phones one day become real life key tools?".

What is a key tool? Well, key tools are fictional devices from the animated TV series ReBoot. The most prominent key tool of the show was one named "Glitch", and it belonged (actually, it was "joined with", but that only makes more sense if you have watched the show) to one of the main characters, Bob. Among Glitch's powers was the ability to perform scans (a wide range, from simple statistics to someone's health), turn itself into a particular tool (such as a screwdriver if one was needed), become a light, communicate with any other device, retrieve an object for Bob (as with his car), create an energy shield, and also to be summoned from afar. Glitch was activated by voice command, and later on by thought.

Evidently, nearly all of the abilities I have listed here (plus most of the others seen within ReBoot) are not possible with current technology: to my knowledge: I am not aware of anything that can shape-shift into something else, and while there are objects that can be activated by voice, nothing can yet by thought. My point here is that phones can now do so much, what will they be capable of next? Already they are able to perform most if not all of the simple functions that Glitch had.

I suspect what I am saying would make more sense to those who have watched ReBoot, and I suppose there are probably other fictional multitasking devices that phones now resemble, but key tools were the ones that came to mind first! We will see phones be capable of even more in the future, though I doubt we will see them turn into paragliders or create energy shields for a very long time.
