Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Over at Mobile Advance, a pretty wide/deep collection of articles from around the Internet have been pulled together into a spreadsheet and made available for review and analysis for those interested in those topics related to mobile ministry.

…In order to try and help to prevent that I have collected the resources identified in my research in the past year put together a “database” of 1400 articles/webpages/ videos/guides/etc. that I or others have identified as being pertinent and helpful for mobile ministry. These resources come from fields like information technology, international development, social/political activism, health, journalism, entertainment media and others that are working to confront the shift and harness the power of the mobile revolution. Their learning can help empower our innovation in mobile ministry and prevent countless hours trying to come up with solutions for problems that have already been addressed elsewhere…

Preview of 2010 Mobile Stats from Tomi Ahonen

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Always worth a read for his opinions and analyses of the mobile industry, Tomi Ahonen (Communities Dominate Brands, Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media, etc.) has given a preview of an upcoming publication of mobile statistics for 2010. Here’s a preview of some of the information contained in that post:

  • 5.2 Billion mobile phone subscriptions (across just under 7 billion of the total world population)
  • 3.75 unique mobile phone subscriptions
  • 1.3 Billion new phones sold
  • 12% of phones owned are second-hand; 17% of phones are smartphones
  • 4.1 Billion active users of SMS; 1.35 billion active users of MMS; 1.5 billion active users of the mobile internet

Tomi’s data is one of the few places one can get an entire picture of what’s happening globally and his next almanac will be chock full of these and other very notable stats about mobile, mobile use, and upcoming trends.

Take a gander at the noted stats in detail at his preview post. And contemplate just how much more attention to mobile you’ll need to pay in the year to come as mobile is more than even something global and personal at the same time.
