CES Show Mobile Devices
The CES show is the biggest electronics show in the country and attracts many of the biggest companies showing off their wares.
Here are a few notes on mobile devices.
- there are now more than 6 billion cellular connections globally, including 1.5 billion with 3G mobile broadband.
- 1.2 billion people access news on mobile devices, more than all cable subscribers and (gulp) three times the circulation of all newspapers.
- Total wireless industry revenues reached $1.3 trillion last year, "which is almost 2 percent of global GDP."
- most people look at their phones about 150 times a day, or once every 6.5 minutes every waking hour.
- In 2015 approximately half of all phones will ship into emerging markets that are more price sensitive. That’s pushing hardware companies to develop more sub-$150 handsets.
- Smart phone cover that’s used to capture cardiograms by gripping the device, a product that a doctor said he used on a plane to diagnose a passenger’s heart attack and call for an emergency landing.
- The doctor also showed how a glucose sensor under the skin works with a smart phone app to display real-time glucose levels and chart them through the day.
I find it amazing how in such little time, that a cell phone went from being just a device to make phone calls, to being able to give glucose levels on a real time basis
