Since the dawn of the smart phone era, the mobile industry has grown at a remarkable pace, with uptake of latest mobile technology becoming widespread and smart phones being a ubiquitous mainstay of people’s pocket space the world over.

Uphill Struggle For Nokia As Current Lumia Devices Won’t Get Windows Phone 8 Update

Mobile may be the key to bringing Facebook full circle.

When Facebook released its prospectus just a few weeks before the IPO of the decade (and probably the millennium thus far), the company made no secret it was having trouble capitalizing on the mobile platform. Though there were plenty of balls in the air, and a hefty collection of possible influences, many believe that Facebook’s struggle with mobile was a major factor in what ended up being a disappointing public debut. While mobile may be a sticking point for the social giant, it may also be the company’s ticket to long term success. And as the headlines keep rolling in, it is becoming more and more obvious that the folks at Facebook already have the wheels turning. Read More…
