Smartphones are taking over!

Last year, the number of smartphones sold exceeded the number of personal computer’s (PC’s) sold! WOW. Mobile is here to stay. Currently there are two giants in the smartphone sales war – Apple and Android. Which one do you have? Personally I’m an Apple Fangirl. Some of the reasons for mobile’s success is that you can do just about everything on your smartphone that you can do on your PC – and be mobile while doing it!

Smartphone users seem to do everything on their phone from retail shopping, listening to Pandora music, checking in on Facebook as well as playing games. <a href=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/draw-something-free/id488628250?mt=8″>Draw Something</a> anyone? This is one of my favorite iPad/iPhone game apps. Speaking of Draw Something and Apple apps, the use of apps continues to grow exponentially. In fact, to put it in context – it took AOL 9 years to get 1 million users, it took Facebook 9 months and it took Draw Something 9 days to reach the 1 millon user mark!!!

Global Internet users will double in the next few years and most will be mobile. There is a mobile revolution.
