  4. mobile is an indivisual part our lyf it can be use by anyone or anywhere

    1. Stats on my website – 70 % more mobile visits 🙂

      1. That depends of the niche too. For example if you have a website about I don’t know, taxi companies reviews or something taxi related is more probable that you’ll have a high percentage of mobile visits.

        If your blog is about seo or maybe some programming tutorials, guess what? 🙂

  5. A mobile phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Most modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and therefore mobile telephones are often also called cellular telephones or cell phones.

    A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, called a program, make computers very flexible and useful.

  6. Other features that may be found on mobile phones include GPS navigation, music (MP3) and video (MP4) playback, RDS radio receiver, built-in projector, vibration and other “silent” ring options, alarms, memo recording, personal digital assistant functions, ability to watch streaming video, video download, video calling …

  7. Well it was supposed to happen.Since the usage of a desktop are limited such as can’t be portable.While a Mobile/Smart phones have all the facility needs so it is rising to a great height.Slowly, it would replace desktop in the coming few years…
