Mobile 2.0 has a distinguishing characteristic, which is the shift from PCs (either desktop or laptop) to mobile handheld devices as our primary computing devices. With Mobile 2.0, PCs will be used only for computing tasks that can\u2019t be performed on handhelds. And mobile devices will be used more for data than for voice.<\/p>\n
What are some of the indications that show that Mobile 2.0 is on the rise?<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0There are more than five billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0In many countries, there are now more mobile devices than people. In Estonia and the United Arab Emirates, for example, there are twice as many mobile phones as residents, according to the International Telecommunications Union.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Growth of data-equipped mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, exceeds feature phone sales by a factor of four to one, according to most analysts.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Mobile telecom revenues will reach $1.1 trillion by 2015, with 40 percent of carrier revenue coming from data services.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0As of 2011, 90 percent of the world\u2019s population lives within wireless coverage.<\/p>\n
What is driving the continued transition from Mobile 1.0 to 2.0? Primarily, two forces:<\/p>\n
1. New ways of doing business are emerging, giving competitive advantage to mobile employees.<\/p>\n
2. The 1.0 technology-centric approach to mobile application design is yielding to the 2.0 user-centric approach.<\/p>\n
