Smart Devices – mostly cells, mobiles, intelligent phones or smart phones, depending on the region – have come to stay, and everything around them continues to multiply exponentially. From mere voice transmission devices, they have materialized into multiple activities – data traffic, multimedia, mail, and social networks, for instance – that previously required different technological devices and are now in our hands all at once.
According to the figures available, forecasts are optimistic:
• Growing sales of smart devices as compared to traditional equipment.
• Increase in products for such devices, applications and stores in the cloud, with a trend to doubling in 2011.
These predictions are based on ascending curves that prove the dynamics of applications for mobile devices, available in Google search and in the article bnamericas.com
Consequently, traffic of wireless communications has doubled every year and sales of intelligent cell phones have grown by almost 90% yearly. 2011 started with over 70% of the world’s population using mobile devices and the trend shows that, for 2013, the largest portion of accesses to the Internet will take place, precisely, through a smart phone.
