Welcome to 2012 – The year of the mobile switch on! by Mark Trowbridge CEO 2020tel,

So, what is the mobile switch on I hear you ask? Well 2012 is the year where the number 1 method of connecting to the internet will be via a mobile phone. The numbers really are mind blowing. Last year, 472 million smartphones were sold worldwide. This year, that number will jump to 730 million and staggeringly by 2014, 1 billion smartphones are expected to be sold annually. That leads us onto the big question of what is a smartphone.
In a nutshell, a smartphone is a device that lets you make telephone calls, but also adds in features that, in the past, you would have found only on a personal digital assistant or a computer e.g., send and receive e-mails, search the internet, GPS, etc.
Using and navigating around a home computer is now second nature to most of us. That is in fact the same for a smartphone. Using a smartphone is actually no different and I even know an 82 year old who is happily getting the most from his phone. Mobile phones are not just a part of our daily life but a must have and switching from a traditional handset to a smartphone should hold no fear. The technology is very similar to using a PC and the advantages of having smartphone technology at your fingertips is something most of want even if we don’t realise it.
So what are the benefits of owning a smartphone?
Just imagine being able to send and receive emails, search the internet for your favourite web pages, access Facebook, communicate with friends and family worldwide, benefit from literally millions of applications dedicated to your own lifestyle and needs, and all of this at the end of your fingertips, when you need it most.
And it’s surprising how much you do use the applications. Only yesterday I received an email in French. I translated the email in my translation application and replied in French all from my smartphone in a matter of min- utes. I don’t speak French and did all that whilst having a drink overlooking the harbour….the
harbour I found using my GPS device on my smartphone. This really is the year of the smartphone – don’t forget 472 million people last year can’t all be wrong!
