2008 Horizon Report
Today, mobiles are increasingly about networking on the go. Better displays and new interfaces make it easier to interact with an ever-expanding variety of content—not just content
formatted specially for mobiles, but nearly any content available on the Internet.
Mobiles now keep us in touch in almost all the ways that laptops used to: with email, web browsing, photos and
videos, documents, searching and shopping—all available anywhere without the need to find a hotspot or a power
outlet.
