There are currently 6 billion mobile devices in the world, with China and India accounting for 30% of all subscriptions, and USA in a distant 3rd place (source: mobiThinking). As to mobile broadband penetration, South Korea and Japan lead the field. And in many countries, such as Egypt, India, Ghana, Thailand, China, USA, UK and Russia, a large percentage of users never, or infrequently, use the desktop Web.
The mobile revolution is here to stay and the use of mobile telephones and devices (iPhones, Android, iPads, tablets, etc.) will continue to grow exponentially at work and at home, as better and faster wireless networks become available.
Mobile devices have radically changed the way in which we do business and network professionally and socially, and the meetings and events industry is no exception to the rule. There are a fast growing number of mobile apps available for just about everything from networking and geolocation to audience polling and lead capture. You name it and there is probably a mobile app already on the market.
