In spite of the recessionary spending constraints, the use of Smartphones has surged. And this trend is expected to continue. Currently Smartphones only account for a quarter of the total cell phone shipments in the U.S., but as the desire to stay digitally connected continues to rise, increase in Smartphone usage will undoubtedly follow suit. The adoption of Smartphones isn’t purely business related; consumers see them as the ultimate tool to stay in touch with family and friends.
