Mobile Phone: A Day to Day Essence


The cell phone has vividly redirected some basic activities to our daily lives. Therefore the daily routines like shopping; banking and making reservations are now quick transactions “in our pocket”. Experts believe that the majority of working adults are using mobile devices for their major commercial phenomenon at the present world. For the business the mobile commerce are backbones to rejoin customers and partners in a decentralized, service-rich environment.
Although various geographical locations are at various stages of development, organizations from all sectors and countries are now responding to the emerging market for mobile commercial services. Lots of them have already made the transition to offering services over the fixed internet, with some additional basic services for the wireless channel, is very significant step. The hunger of consumer for mobile service signifies that the leading banks of developed countries like Australia, for example, can’t afford to ignore the new generation of WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL (WAP) phones. WAP had already begun to play a market enlargement role for European banks from almost a decade before. I, here, mean to say that banks and banking groups are one of the leaders of mobile commerce in the present world.
Few years earlier, commentators used to point out that the “killer app” for mobile commerce is Voice communication; but nowadays we are able to get various advanced apps in our smart phones which wasn’t even imagined a couple of years before.  I-phones   and android are the homes of million apps which assist our daily lives in either ways.
Mobile connectivity puts pressure on this common duality: Shopping at work & Working at homes. The shift to a mobile channel devalues the service providers’ traditionally high position with respect to the users. The existing internet and existing mobile communication systems apparently intersect to provide us web-style service on mobile devices, but the implication for mobile commerce going ahead are more significant than meeting-point of technologies.[1]
