The field of super mobile devices is an exciting and profitable field. The market is full of charm because its products have a wide range of applications, such as surfing the Internet, listening to music, navigation, making phone calls and data communication.

In 2007, the Apple iPhone equipped with the Mac operating system and multi touch technology broke the calm of the mobile phone market, allowing us to see the great potential of mobile phone technology transformation and the great integration between computers and mobile phones. At the 2008 Intel Information Technology Summit (IDF) in Shanghai at the beginning of this month, PC giants represented by Lenovo, HP and Acer, and consumer electronics giants represented by Samsung, BenQ and patriot all targeted the super mobile device market, making us have to rethink the question: what will be the final result of the integration and competition between mobile phones and computers after 2008?

Mobile phone turns into "smart computer" terminal

Today, with the development of mobile phones, the feeling of "smart computer" terminals is becoming increasingly obvious. Let's talk about the three stages of the development of mobile phones: first, the process of mobile phones changing from the analog era to the digital era; Second, the process of mobile phone changing from black-and-white screen to color screen; Third, the process of mobile phone changing from ordinary call function to multimedia function.

In these three changes, the functions of mobile phones are also increasing. Mobile phone has evolved from a simple call tool into a multimedia tool. With the addition of Java (one of the programming languages) and smart phones, the functions of mobile phones have gradually moved closer to computers, with a trend of computerization. With the addition of Symbian, Linux, palm, MAC and other mobile operating systems, mobile phones can not only communicate, but also process office documents and pictures, and browse the web. With the increase of mobile phone functions, mobile phone third-party client software has started to march from computer desktop software to mobile phone client software.

In a sense, the advancement of hardware technology and the development of operating system are the basis of promoting the process of intelligent computerization of mobile phones, while the driving force is the influx of mobile client software, which creates demand for mobile phone users. "Meeting user needs" is almost all enterprises' requirements for themselves, but creating needs is a greater innovation. For mobile phones, this is a brand-new territory. It is impossible to follow the footsteps of predecessors to develop software. On the contrary, the birth of new software has stimulated the new needs of mobile phone users, which has stimulated the process of mobile phone computerization and accelerated the popularization of smart phones.

Let's take mobile phone im (instant messaging) software as an example. IM software has always been computer desktop software, but now we chat about QQ (Tencent instant messaging tool) on mobile phones. Mobile phone QQ client software creates this demand, and constantly improves its functions to meet the needs of users. For this reason, many people buy a mobile phone that supports Java or Symbian system in order to chat with QQ at any time, thus accelerating the popularity of smart phones and promoting the process of mobile phone computerization.

In developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States, WiFi wireless networks and 3G networks everywhere are also improving the speed of mobile Internet access, bringing good experience to mobile Internet access and accelerating the process of mobile computerization. The birth of Apple's iPhone enabled the mobile phone to load the Mac operating system, so that it could easily log in to the Internet and process emails and office documents. It also had a super convenient touch operation mode and randomly drag and drop web pages, all of which freed the mobile phone from the limitation of screen and keyboard size when surfing the Internet.
