Mobile Markets will Take Over the World

Written by Chris

Since the 90′s, desktops developed in a very fast rhythm. Almost everybody owns his own computer at home and also an Internet connection. But all this wire-depending stuff will be shortly overtaken by the smart phones.

The mobile phone, this easy, wireless device without which no one could live anymore, allows us to use the Internet as well as a desktop. But the best part is that it’s wireless and has free features. This is why almost 50 % of today’s Internet connections are from mobile devices and also why 200 million people use
their Facebook account via their mobile phone.

Experts said that the web adoption is growing 8 times faster and that in 3 years the sales of electronic devices will be in a larger range mobiles than desktops.

The fact is that this direction of development is unstoppable and, on the other hand, it is a very environment- and human-friendly solution. You will no longer need to stand the noise of the ventilators, or to be tied To a fixed place. You will reach all the websites you need anywhere you want. Especially for this, WordPress created several mobile plugins, which make the sites good looking, even for your 960 x 640 Pixel iPhone display.

Mobile Security: Watch Your Smart Phone!

Written by Georg

If you were in Ancient Greece, there would be a zero risk of being hit by a bullet. If you were in Victorian Britain, same zero risk goes of you being hit by a speeder in a red Ferrari. If you were in the nineties, no chances that your mobile phone theft would trigger a financial catastrophe in your life.

But you live today, your smart mobile phone is capable of browsing the web. It is allowing you the comfort of mobile banking. The smart phone can be your mobile wallet in the case your device has Near Field Communication embedded in it. Yes, you can wave your mobile device at Starbucks and consider the bill paid. More and more retailers adopt this pay-by-phone new technology.

Only problem is that every comfort brings a hidden risk along. Because less than honorable people will always take advantage to turn any new technology against you. Imagine that you lose a smart phone loaded with essential data about your banking transactions, or whatever sensitive data you may store and transfer with your mobile device.

What you can do to protect yourself, simple advices to keep your smart phone safe:

1. Lock your smart phone with a password. Make your password at least twelve characters long, use alpha-numerical and special signs. Yes, hard to remember. Then try a delightful funny phrase that’s hard to forget. A verse or a tune, replace some letters with numb3rs, spaces with dashes or underscores, all caps, etc.

2. Change your password monthly according to a well thought algorithm in your mind.

3. Look out for remote wipe-out services, like MobileMe for the iPhone. This kind of service will automatically erase all data from your smartphone in the case you claim it lost or stolen.

And even if you’re diligent enough not to lose your smartphone, a good idea would be to backup your data and then erase non essential stuff from your phone.

Remember, there’s no silver bullet. But most of the time, taking good care of your smart phone, the way you certainly do with your laptop or wallet, or credit cards, key chain, etc. is always the best defense against data theft, avoiding financial troubles or ruin.
