8 Ways Smart Phones Have Changed Business

With each passing year, businesses must change their approach to accommodate the rapidly changing elements of modern technology; television is fading and social media is on the rise, our approach to productivity has been totally rewired, and — perhaps most prominently — smart phones and tablets are taking over the world.

Here are eight of the ways that smart phones have revolutionized our conception of business.

1. Email and Response Times

Email has done a lot to change the way we think of business communication, and likewise, smart phones have done a lot to change how we think of emails.

While it was once standard to let emails pile up consistently and create responses in batches, instantly checking your messages has become something of an expectation for serious businesspeople. As such, the expected response time for any urgent message has decreased from “one to three business days” to about “two to twelve hours.”

2. Increased Attention to Social Networks

Social networks have already ramped up in popularity and importance for businesses. However, thanks to the constant attention users pay to their smart phone social networking apps, this medium has become the single greatest source of word-of-mouth traffic.

3. Affordable Mobile App Alternatives

A typical suite of productivity software for a computer will run you about $50 per license. For smart phone apps, the quality is shockingly similar but the price falls in the $3 to $10 range. Additionally, many companies provide free “light” versions that are supported by mobile ads.

There are tons of mobile apps available now for all platforms- something that has come with the evolution of cell phones. The interactive IG below (I can’t embed it, but click it it to go to the interactive version).

4. Easier Travel Opportunities

Going on business trips has never been easier. Not only can you find plane tickets and low hotel prices at a moment’s notice, but you can find your way around the new area with ease thanks to mobile maps and GPS navigation utilities.

5. Mobile Advertising Has Taken Off

Mobile ads pay for a huge portion of app developers’ time. The reason, of course, is that businesses have found that these often seen and clicked ads can be very lucrative when appropriately targeted and placed.

6. Increased Telecommuting Opportunities

Ten years ago, the idea of working entirely from home for an outside employer existed but was very off the beaten path. Now, thanks to modern technology, cloud computing, and devices like smart phones, telecommuting positions are being offered by a large chunk of major companies.

7. Lowered Technology Costs

It used to be that equipping a road warrior for mobile business cost thousands of dollars. Now you can grab a smart phone for as little as about $100 with a contract, and the price of these devices is only decreasing.

8. Less Dead Time

Businesspeople can now continue to be productive regardless of their location. A bus ride commute means a chance to catch up on emails and reading, business trips won’t create huge lulls in production, and emergencies can be tended as they crop up.

It can be something of a challenge to adapt to a world being created by smart phones.
However, for businesses and consumers alike, this whirring-fast, brilliantly intelligent modern technology will save time, effort, and money while introducing an impressive array of new opportunities on its own.

Motorola Unveils 7 New Android Phones

Not to be outdone by its competitors’ offerings, Motorola unveiled a whopping seven new Driod smartphones at a pre-CTIA Wireless conference. Here are the expert rundowns:

The Driod Pro is meant to take on the Blackberry, according to CNET:

Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha called the phone, which sports a 3.1-inch touch screen display and a QWERTY keypad, the first Android phone designed specifically for business users.

The company has added several features to the Droid Pro, which could make it a strong BlackBerry competitor. BlackBerry is still the No. 1 smartphone used by large corporate customers. The most important features Motorola has added allow IT managers to actually manage the phones and they also allow these IT professionals to secure the devices and protect data from leaking out of the company via stolen or lost devices.

The Motorola Citrus
is 25% recycled. From Slashgear:

Verizon has liberally splashed Bing integration all over the Citrus, wherever Google used to be, and there’s a trackpad on the back of the smartphone for easier navigation. In all, this isn’t likely to be a barnstormer of a device, but then again it’s also likely to be relatively cheap and Motorola has made the body from 25-percent post-consumer recycled plastic so there’s a little green halo around it too.

DailyTech has good reviews of the Bravo, the Flipside, the Flipout, the Defy, and the Spice.

Motorola’s not phonin’ around, that’s for sure.

Boulder Fire: Reverse 911-Like System Fails for Those Without Antiquated Phones


Image: Andrew-Hyde/Flickr

Note: Although some quotes in this article refer to the system used in Boulder as “reverse 911,” Boulder County uses a different system that operates in a similar way. We are not referring to the EADS system that is actually named Reverse 911.

I woke up yesterday to a massive plume of smoke stretching across the sky and littering ash in my front yard. I soon found out that the so-called Fourmile Fire, a 3,500-acre brushfire, was wreaking havoc 10 miles from my home. Here’s more current news on the blaze, which authorities say is still out of control.

Like many residents here, I glued myself to the Boulder police and fire scanner throughout the day. Much of the discussion there yesterday had to do with evacuations, but rescuers seemed confused about who had evacuated, who hadn’t, and what areas were completely evacuated. It later came out that the county’s reverse 911 system had failed.

Boulder’s system, designed by a company called Everbridge, pulls information from a GIS telephone and address database to automatically notify people within a specific geographical area of an event, evacuation, or emergency mobilization. Boulder County used the system to warn residents that a massive forest fire was headed their way, and they needed to evacuate.

But instead of receiving an evacuation call, a number of residents learned that they had to leave from neighbors or, hearing the fire nearby, figured it out themselves.

Last I heard, Boulder County doesn’t know why the system failed. But, according to some comments I read on Boulder’s Daily Camera, the system has a few intrinsic flaws.

“The problem with the reverse 911 is that some people opt out of it and then say that they didn’t get a call. It happens all the time. Also, people change their phone numbers and then fail to update the 911 system…again, happens all the time. Most of the reasons for failure are, in fact, an issue with the people themselves…with landlines down, and people living in areas where there is little to no cell coverage, 911 fails are inevitable.” This comes from commenter Teledude.

Commenter mti001, who lives at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain, an evac area, writes:

“…right after the power went out the phone rang. I answered it and the message was “this is a 911 reverse call press 1 for the message” WTF!! The key pad doesn’t work without power! I’m surprised it didn’t say “press 1 for english”! Who ever developed the software didn’t take into account that todays phones need power to operate the key pad. The message should have told us what was going on without pressing 1.”

“Something similar happened to me yesterday when the power went off.” writes Brainchild, another commenter. “The POTS (plain old telephone system) is supposed to supply its own power. But most new phones have wall warts (AC or DC adapters) so that as many as possible can be sold and plugged into a home’s jacks, without affecting how much power is sucked out of the POTS lines during ringing or whatever.”

Phones designed with AC adapters can be built lighter, smaller, and become less hot during use. So they’re great for the companies who sell them and most of the consumers who buy them. Apparently they also suck in emergency situations like the Boulder fire, where residents live away from cell phone reception and need land lines.

“It’s a good idea to have at least one jack in the house setup with an old-school trimline phone that will work whether you have power or not,” writes NoBoBears. Moabite, another commenter, agrees: “I live in the foothills, and this is PRECISELY why I have a $10 cheapo phone plugged into one of my wall jacks. If your power is out, your landline is useless unless you have an old style phone.”

In other words, if you live somewhere without cell phone reception, there’s a chance your county’s reverse 911 won’t work at all unless you have an old phone that doesn’t use an AC adapter. Not exactly savvy for a system that costs upwards of $22,000 per year.

It’s also a good reminder that it pays to be independently prepared and use your head, rather than assuming other people will come get you in time.
