The operating systems that generated with the smartphones are the Symbian, Blackberry (RIM), Android, IOS (Apple), Windows Phone, Palm OS, and Bada. Impact One: * Social networking is one of the most things that impacted the smartphone industry over the years. Once it became for use on the smartphone market, it became an epidemic and people became glued to their phone not only for talking or texting. But, for enjoying the Facebook, twitter, instagram, and other social network sites. It became popular fast once it became useful at the end of everybody fingertips. (Smartphone and Tablets: Economic Impacts.) Impact Two: * Smartphones are also impacting negatively on family, business and social relationships. According to, Prophetic Blogger, “People are continually spending more and more time fiddling with their iPhone, android or windows phones and ignoring others around them.” With that being said, the smartphone generation are relying more and more on technology to do the thinking for them. As the years continue to go on, the technology being used in smartphones today would be obsolete. Impact Three: * Now on a positive direction, according to David A. Vautin, smartphone technology not only improves the connectivity from one device to another, but...

...owns a small software company, Find Donuts, Inc in Michigan. A patent on a smartphone application named Find Donuts which is designed to locate donuts shops, is the only asset of Find Donuts, Inc. With the intention of promoting the sales of the Find Donuts smartphone app and increasing company revenue, Alex Jones attended a computer conference in June 2010, in San Francisco. Alex also owns a Christmas tree farm in Oregon. Primary purpose of this farm being profit but not leisure, it qualifies as a business to be reported in Schedule C of Alex’s federal income tax return. In December 2010, Alex paid a visit to this farm to oversee the sales of trees. In July 2010, Alex flew to Honolulu, Hawaii to supervise the construction of two additional bedrooms to a house he owns there. He leases this house to a couple, and they operate the house as bed and breakfast (B&B). Those two newly constructed bedrooms were an addition to their B&B. For the above trips he made to San Francisco, Oregon and Hawaii in 2010, Alex used his Lear jet that he purchased in 2000 for 1 million. Each trip cost him $ 100,000. Issues: Does the operational cost for Alex Jones’ jet for the above three trips qualify to be deducted as a necessary or ordinary business expense incurred in conducting a trade or business under IRC Sec. 162? Conclusions: Alex Jones’s expense of $300,000 made in using his Lear jet to travel to three destinations in the 2010 tax year may not qualify to be deducted...

...The smartphone rage is catching up in the country, especially in urban India, says a survey conducted by Nielsen Informate Mobile Insights. There are 27 million smartphone users in urban India – a total of 9 per cent of the entire mobile user base in the urban demography. India is considered to be one of the fastest growing mobile markets with around 900 million mobile phone users, according to TRAI estimates. The country’s mobile handset market witnessed 6 per cent growth in the first quarter of 2012 while the smartphone market in the country surged by 17 per cent, says market research firm Gartner. As consumer usage on smartphones goes much beyond voice calling and texting, that market has become a veritable hotspot for content consumption and mobile advertising. “For the first time ever, we have seized the opportunity that smartphones hold for mobile advertising in India. It now enables marketers to increase investments in the mobile medium, catering to a large enough market that consumes both rich media and advertising,” says Farshad Family, MD (Media) of Nielsen India. The survey has also covered the usage pattern of smartphone users. While 22 million people use their smartphones for social networking, 24 million use it for online searching, 21 million for looking up app stores and 19 million each use these devices for chatting and mailing, respectively.

...workplace. In fact, business can be conducted from virtually anywhere as long as the person has an internet connection. This paper will discuss the role business communication plays in my day-to-day work activities, trends in business communication in the workplace and the messages types that results from these trends. The most common way for me to manage my daily activities is through my company email. My email account is accessible from my business laptop and Smartphone. I can work while in my home office; or I can work from my Smartphone while having lunch at a sandwich shop. What helps me manage my workload within the email function is the ability to “flag” messages. I can “flag” messages for follow up at a later date to remind me when a deadline is due or when I need to respond to that particular message. The “flagged” message will remind me of the follow up based on the timeframe I set. The online calendar in my email allows me to set up appointments and invite attendees. The calendar is also linked to my Smartphone which sends me reminder alerts when appointments are coming up. Another communication method that helps to manage my daily workload is instant messenger. My company uses Skype Instant Messenger to communicate with everyone. This method is very efficient as it decreases the amount of time on a cell phone and this tool allows people to multi-task while carrying a conversation. The role technology plays in business communication is invaluable. Without these...

...1. The advantages of allowing employees to use their personal smartphones for work will improve the productivity; it allows companies to enjoy all of the same benefits of a mobile workforce without spending their own money to purchase devices. It allows employees to do their work anywhere. Since they are already used to the features and process of their smartphones they can do their daily workload faster than usual. It allows employees to easily communicate with other at the same time. The disadvantages of allowing employees to their personal smart phone for work are there are many mobile platforms available, a significantly large amount of IT resources would have to be dedicated to managing and maintaining a large number of devices in an organization, and the absence of an effective way to keep track of all the devices employees are using. Employees loose their concentration easily; maybe they will play more with their smartphones than doing work such as social network. Too many applications, downloads and use will slow the processor and it will affect the company productivity. 2. People, organization and technology are the factor that should be addressed when deciding whether to allow employee to use their personal smartphones for work because when employee makes change to their personal phone such as switching cellular carrier and so on, companies will need to quickly flexibly ensure that their employee are still able to remain productive. Firms need efficient...

...it’s fullest potential is the travel industry, specifically the airline industry. Airline companies have benefitted greatly by transitioning their business to a web based and mobile ready technology. Delta Airlines was one of the first airlines to offer a e-commerce website over twelve years ago as an alternative to working with a travel agency, calling the airline directly, or going to the airport to book travel. Soon after, the web check-in process was offered as a second option to getting in line at the airport to check-in, print your boarding pass, and drop of your luggage. From 2001 up until 2010, the Delta website was enhanced to allow car and hotel bookings, check up to the minute flight statuses, look at upcoming travel itineraries to change seats or change flights as well. In addition, there are now portals to log into the companies frequent flyer program to check your miles earned and to book award travel. In 2010, Delta’s first mobile application was released. The mobile application allowed Delta customers to conduct business with Delta on their mobile device just as they could if they were sitting at their computer. A customer could book domestic or international travel or even book a vacation to Hawaii including car and hotel. A customer can also check-in for their flight and e-mail their boarding pass to themselves, or print them at the counter when they got to the kiosk. Subsequent enhancement include re-booking travel for interrupted or cancelled...
