Mobile Phones Vs. PC
The average mobile phone today is already much more powerful then the PCs of the past, and they are outselling PCs this year as well. The number of apps is exploding, so that mobile phones continue to acquire greater everyday functionality.
For instance, there are specialized apps for diabetics like Glucose Buddy, which allow them to take readings anywhere. These are uploaded to the Internet, so they can be accessed at any time. The app also provides alarms to remind when to take a reading, plus advice on diet. Millions of people around the world now own mobile phones, and half of all mobile phones sold in western Europe are now mobile phones. Worldwide, they represent 24% of all mobiles sold, and the tipping point when they make up 50% globally may be only a year away. Since people are using them to connect to the internet, hold data, run programs and organize lives, they are fast replacing the PC for many people.
