Mobile Mania

I'm dating myself,  but I can remember  when the telephone was a black apparatus that sat on an end table  with a circular  dial that went clickity clack as you turned it and a hand held receiver that you talked into. The whole thing was stationary because it was plugged into the wall with a cord, That was it. When a person said phone thats the picture that came to mind.. A computer was a big box that sat on a desk it too was stationary with it's cord plugged into the wall. 
My how the world has changed. Now phones and computers come in all shapes,  sizes and colors, and they are no longer anchored down to just one spot.  
The age of mobility is upon us and  growing by leaps and bounds. Sales of  mobile devices, including smartphones and tablet PC's like the ipad continue to grow and are now a multi-billion dollar market and the word on the street is that it will surpass a trillion dollars by 2014. 

Another market that has just recently started to explode, with the advent of the iphone and ipad  is the apps market. In 2010 their were 10 billion apps and the industry is projecting 25 billion by the end of 2011. This has opened up a huge opportunity for those who have the desire to produce and or sell these apps.
It is truly amazing how rapidly this market has grown. It makes a body wonder what new markets will be exploding 5 years from now?
