I think 2012 is the year when consumers all around the world start saying no to feature phones and start saying yes to smartphones.
I think I have over 60 apps on my iPhone. I use six.
I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
I feel like a Mac store! I have a Canadian iPhone, an American iPhone and an iPad. I'm constantly downloading music to iTunes.
I do everything on my phone!
Now, as smartphones are coming up, there are all kinds of apps that will start to be developed that will help women.
I became completely addicted to 'Angry Birds' for a while.
I love my iPhone - I've actually gotten into games, and I find them really relaxing. Don't laugh at me, but I have 'Sally's Spa' - fantastic; 'Penguin Catapult' - it's great; and 'Word Solitaire' is my new favorite.
What's really going on is, on your iPhone, you have 200 apps, and they're all collecting a little data on you. Twitter knows a certain thing, Foursquare knows something else, my Fitbit app knows something else, my Waze app knows something else.

Social media is not the same in 2013 as it was in 2003 - or even 2008 or 2011. You didn't carry around AOL chat in your pocket or look at it when you were in class.

When you travel around Moscow, you can see almost every car is using a smartphone where they can see what's ahead of them.
My phone is all ping-ping, eBay alerts.
In the early stages of negotiation software, on your smartphone, there may be programs that listen to the pitch of a voice, or that test for stress. You'll just ask the program, 'Was he lying? Was he eager to do business with me?' Maybe the computer will be right sixty per cent of the time.
For me, my phone is a one-stop shop; I do everything on my phone - email, browsing, listening to music, reading, navigation and using smart apps. Maps, I use that a lot. I think that's the best app ever.

A 2011 report produced by Forrester Research estimated that the revenue generated through the sales of smartphone and tablet applications will reach $38 billion annually by 2015. Think about that: An industry that did not exist in 2006 will be generating $38 billion in revenues within a decade. . . .
People are carrying around smartphones. They have a video capture device in their pockets twenty-four/seven.
