Mobile apps were originally intended for productivity: email, calendar and contact databases, but public demand caused rapid expansion into other areas, such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, banking, order-tracking, and ticket purchases. There are huge amount of apps on the internet, what apps will you install? Here are 5 apps I think everyone should have.

1. Money Transfer: This refers to people sending money via SMS messages. Like mobile payments, this service has more appeal in developing markets for now.

2. Location-Based Services: There are still far too many services to choose from when it comes to location-based social networking, fragmenting the market. Your friends on Loopt are often different than those on Brightkite and that list is different than those on Foursquare. But LBS extends to more than social networks - it includes any application that taps into your phone's GPS capabilities to offer up location-based services of any kind, whether that's local business reviews or directions to the nearest Starbucks. Gartner says this will be one of the most disruptive technologies in the future, with a user base growing from 96 million in 2009 to 526 million in 2012.

3. Mobile Health Monitoring: Another technology whose impact will be felt more heavily in developing markets, mobile health monitoring is still at an early stage of maturity and implementation says Gartner. Project rollouts have been limited to pilot projects for now, but in the coming years the industry will begin to monetize these efforts by offering mobile healthcare monitoring products, services, and solutions to various care delivery organizations.

4.Mobile Browsing: Saying that mobile browsing technologies will be heavily used in the future sounds a little bit like stating the obvious. That's also good news for web developers who can build mobile web applications to cater to this bunch as opposed to focusing all their efforts into building apps for the numerous mobile platforms like the iPhone, Android, RIM, and others.

5.Mobile Music: Sure, you have the iPhone, but what about your other options? What about mobile music services - especially those for non-iPhone devices? We're still waiting on Spotify in the U.S., for example, and their competition too. Gartner says that we're beginning to see new innovative models in this area that will include both device (think "Comes with Music") and service bundles.

The HTC One S is the second in command in HTC's new One series rankings, one rung down on the size and power ladder from the HTC One X. That's no bad thing because the giant scale and quad-core power of the One X won't be for everyone.

This smartphone's 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen from Samsung is above average when it comes to imaging quality. The One S has a 540 x 960 pixel resolution, which offers a 256-ppi pixel density on this display size.

Features
The One S runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and the latest version of its Sense UI.

You'll get the same 8-megapixel BSI camera with ImageSense technology on the One S that my colleague Aloysius Low raved about in his review of the One X. The One S also has a dedicated imaging chip, and overall camera performance was brisk. The camera was able to focus in less than a second, capture continuous shots in machine gun succession and snap crisp photos while recording video. It may not have a 41-megapixel sensor like the Nokia 808 PureView, but the BSI sensor captured clear photos in low lighting, and the smart LED flash could fill a scene with enough light.

As with all smartphones in its One series, HTC has integrated Beats Audio sound enhancing software in its music player app.

The difference between using the bundled Beats Solo headset and non-Beats branded headphones is audible. With the Beats Solo headset, music seems to have more presence, punchier bass and clearer vocals. Other headsets we tried also showed some improvement with the sound enhancer turned on. Do note that the sound enhancer only works with headphones or external speakers that are plugged in to the phone and you can't tweak the settings--only turn it on or off.

The HTC One S is not the fastest smartphone on the market, but it is one of the fastest. It does not offer the best screen, but its display is one of the best. Finally, it is definitely not the best smartphone at the moment, but it is one of the best available.

Summary
You cannot find a better deal than the Nokia Lumia 900. I've never owned a Nokia before but after getting my Lumia 900 I might be a customer for life. This phone is made of a material I have never seen or felt before. It feels very solid, smooth and high quality. The cyan color is absolutely beautiful and is definitely the color to get as it really stands out as a special phone. Everything else just looks plain and boring next to this phone.


 
The S3 has gone massive on innovation, with a great deal of new characteristics the speculation hadn't dreamed of. But the very first point you notice could be the size. Samsung has shown it might make a results of massive screens together with the five.3in display on the Samsung Galaxy Note.

The Samsung Galaxy s2 along with the iPhone 4 are two mobile phones which have generated a great deal of discussion, and many individuals are comparing the two mobiles with one particular one more. Each the iPhone 4 along with the Samsung Galaxy s2 are genuinely common, as well as even though the Samsung Galaxy s2 is newer, the iPhone 4 and its successor the iPhone 4s are still flourishing within the market place - so which mobile telephone is greater?

Create & Design

When it comes to design, I say the iPhone 4S takes the prize. It's small, it's sexy, and everyone knows exactly what kind of telephone you have when you pull it out. The Galaxy S II devices aren't exactly ugly, but they aren't exactly head-turners either, suffering from a "me too" design sensibility of all-black devices without any real flair.

Each the Apple along with the Samsung handsets are dominated by large displays that cover the front of the device. They also have the same basic button and port layout, even though the buttons on the iPhone 4S are slightly larger and easier to operate.

Anyway, now those geeks have received what they wanted-the new iPhone 4S has an 8MP camera able to take 3264 x 2448 pictures just like the Galaxy S2 and a lot of other modern smartphones. Plus it has a CMOS illuminated sensor, which is 73 percent more effective and about 30 percent faster than before. And of course, it shoots 1080p HD videos, too.
