Mobile phones now essential devices
Tue, 27 Oct 2009
The mobile phone has become crucial to actively engaging with everyday modern life, it has been claimed.
Claire Milne, consultant at Antelope Consulting and chair at the Consumer Forum for Communications, said that mobile devices have "become essential" and this trend will continue to develop over the next decade.
Speaking at the Westminster eForum Keynote Seminar, More than Talk... The Future of Mobile, she said that because of this, businesses must make mobile phones accessible to all sections of society "on a voluntary basis".
"More of its features and requirements will become essential over the next ten years and are going to become so in many other countries," she added.
Kristof Beets, business development manager at Imagination Technologies, recently claimed that companies and consumers have increasingly high expectations of mobile technology and its capabilities.
He said that using mobile devices in the home and workplace is no longer sufficient, as people wish to use their phones on planes, trains and at their destination of choice.
"Ideally you want all your information, any type of media, at any time, in your pocket with good battery power and that's the ultimate kind of experience we are trying to enable," Mr Keets added.
