Strategic mobility management company Visage prepared a neat infographic to illustrate the explosion of mobile usage in the last few years. We all know how this market has dramatically changed following the introductions of the Apple iPhone and Google’s Android platform, but there are few interesting facts you may haven’t realized before. For instance, did you know that:
- There are 5.6 billion mobile subscriptions in the world, which is over 85% of the population.
- An average American sends 15,145 text messages a year.
- The world’s most expensive phone bill was $218 trillion dollars.
- 73,000 cell phones are left in New York City cabs every year.
And here’s the infographic.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
