Not just a toy

There can be no denying the massive impact the mobile telephone has had on the world. In the space of only a few short years the humble mobile has evolved from a rather cumbersome means of making telephone calls on the move, into a slick, pocket-sized device used for making calls, listening to music, taking pictures, watching videos and surfing the web.

While the technology behind the latest generation of ‘smart’ phones is certainly impressive, the real strength of the modern day smart phone is just as much in its software and applications as it is in the gadget itself.

To meet the demands of the many millions of smart phone users out there, application or ‘app’ stores such as iTunes and Google Play have grown to become a staple part of many people’s lives. These stores sell an absolutely enormous range of products that cover almost every need a smart phone user could imagine.
