PDA phones or smartphones, is a new phenomina, it interest more than one, especialy business men.
This technical cell-phones are very smart:

* How this trand is influencing Business model?

- Everywhere i go nowadays i see people with PDA phones in their hands. First, business men were the only one concerned, sending emails, receiving them, sending documents, searching information in the net, it replace somewhere the usual laptop. Now, i feel like young people are intersted more and more about the product. I personaly realise the importance of it. It make our life easier; we can work while we are waiting for our plane, we can receive emails even if we don't have a computer with us, we can call, listen the music, make a conference call, its really a very smart cell phone, i guess the business is growing fast around the world, everyone would like to have it.

I never thought that one day we could have a smart phone which replace 3 or 4 gudgets. It was a very smart idea to find out it. it help us, specialy business men or women, to save their time, monney. to stay connected with their offices. I personaly prefer Blackberry phones, for me it's all about beinig in, and also to being professional. All of this PDA's phones are very fachionable instead of being smart, important in business life.

In the future, i think that the trend will continue to growth, now i guess that we will perhapes have a more intiligent phones, mess bigger, but i think that this is a very important product for business men or women. It helped them to save time, monney, and so many other things, so i don't think that the industry will suffer from copetitors. I also think that the product will attract even young people, instead of sending sms, we will send email by our PDA phones.
I beleive that this industry will continue to growth considerably, no one can stop it especialy after the huge consomation by business world.
