We are becoming increasingly connected. Smartphones are taking over the mobile business, and it is happening rapidly. What employed to be about "a phone that can just make calls" is becoming a lot more about getting an all-in-1 device that can consistently be by your side.
Let's see how smartphones are taking over the market:
1) Smartphone shipments practically doubled in the final quarter of 2010
Smartphone sales up
For the duration of the last quarter of 2010, smartphone shipments had been up at 101.two million, that is up from the same time in 2009, which was 53.7 million. The chart above shows, that's an 88.6 percent growth. It looks like Android  devices are the fastest-growing of the smartphones.
two Sony has noticed mobile games are becoming well known
Late last week, Sony introduced the globe to the NGP. It's the PSP2. What was most interesting about this announcement wasn't the program itself--it was the concept of Sony's PlayStation Suite. The PlayStation Suite is fundamentally a set of developer tools that will allow for any licensed Android device to playback PlayStation content. This opens up alot more avenues for distribution for Sony. It will be interesting to see how this affects the Android marketplace as Sony will distribute directly by means of their PlayStation Store, which already has quite a few users with their credit cards tied to their account.
Why is this significant? If one of the giants in the console and handheld small business realizes that they have to get into the smartphone industry as properly.
three) Cellphones employed much more for data than for voice
Cellphones these days are getting employed much less for calls and alot more for data (source). Whether it's browsing the online on your smartphone  or checking your e-mail, most smartphone users have in all probability noticed that they are part of that crowd as they increasingly use data for texting or email rather than making a telephone call. SMS is sometimes much less complicated for busy people today as they do not have to bother with a call and hope the individual answers, or leave a message, and so on. They just kind out a message, "Pick up dry cleaning on your way dwelling," and a fast, "K" is enough of a response, end of conversation. The capability to speedily respond like that has created it a great deal a lot more convenient to use SMS. That is of course only one example of us making use of data.
four) Bear in mind the Kin
Kin
Does any individual keep in mind the Kin? Yeah, most in all probability forgot it already, it was only accessible for three hours (exaggeration, of course). Microsoft's Kin was really obtainable for just under two months just before getting killed off right after selling a reported 500 units. That is not a typo that is 500. Microsoft wouldn't confirm or deny the reports, which makes us feel it's much more likely true than not. The Kin was not a smartphone, it was developed as a "enjoyable, social phone" or some thing along those lines. We actually do not remember, it was killed off too fast for us to notice. Of course, you can argue that Microsoft went on to function on Windows Telephone 7, but that nonetheless means they abandoned the regular cellphone to push their smartphone.
5) Enterprise in a globe that is Increasingly connected

Smartphones like RIM's BlackBerry  were produced exceptionally well known by businesses. Devices like the iPhone have develop into increasingly useful for enterprise. iOS4 added enterprise functions, and corporate buyers get to acquire their iPhone's before the rest of us.  That's still the case with many such devices. Organizations are leading customers for smartphones because they have to have to preserve workers consistently connected. Not only by voice, but by e-mail. If you are out, an office-wide email will no doubt reach you long before you are anyplace near a pc. This is additional vital in today's fast-paced business globe. Nonetheless, we are not opposed to totally shutting down our iPhone over the weekend.
Smartphones Continue to Rise
Just 3 years ago, smartphones weren't specifically a standard. They had been increasing in popularity, but with devices like the iPhone and Android handsets, they are becoming a lot more popular for non-business users as well. These days, lots of of these phones are affordable, even for teens. Prior to we know it, our older handsets will no longer exist, and phones that do email, browsing and Apps will be the regular. Are you ready?
