The use of mobile devices worldwide is growing exponentially and part of this phenomenon is due to the emergence of smart devices or smartphones. Internet browsing is the most useful service offered by this type of devices, related with mobile applications too. The usability of Internet could not be relegated to personal computers and mobile phone companies could not let the opportunity go to offer this service to their customers. The ubiquity of mobile devices added to the popularity of Internet has made this service one of the most widely used today, placing the main uses of mobile phones, calls and sending messages, aside and stealing the exclusive explotation of the service to personal computers.

The most acclaimed mobile operating systems, iOS and Android
There are many mobile operating systems that enable Internet browsing and everyone of them is integrated into a different device. It is striking that the most popular operating system, Google Android, does not match up with the most requested terminal, iPhone, due to the fact that Apple is the only company manufacturing smartphones with the iOS operating system.

Mobile websites adaptation
Nevertheless, apart from the device and the operating system chosen, mobile Internet needs some requirements in order to support the modern web. Java, Flash and other third-party solutions should be interpreted on mobile Internet browser as they work on Pc’s ones. A new technological need has just been found: the adaptation of normal websites to mobile websites will be oriented to mobile markets in the future, in other words, flexible websites. As the popularity of mobile devices increases, development for the platform will increase, and it will become important for companies to provide mobile support to their customers.
It is not difficult to notice these solutions will need to be perfected on the mobile operating systems before all these devices will really use the full force of Internet.
What is the truth about who says Windows Mobile will exceed iPhones in 2014?
While everybody use Windows in their Pcs, Windows Mobile still increasing, but I don’t believe that this SO exceeds iOS.
I prefer iPhone mobiles, I love my new 4S!
What do you think of the new uses of mobile? will we return someday to use it only to call? Or calls will disappear as a form of communication. I think we could do a sociological study from these trends. don’t you?
Now the ancient is themodern. And again 2G phones are used at the expense of smartphones. It’s crazy, a technological regression!
Really? does this trend exist?Maybe it has to do with vintage fashion…
