Mobile computing 'proved popular in 2009'

Devices which facilitate mobile computing are among the technologies which have become popular in the past year, according to an expert.

PC Advisor associate editor Rosemary Hattersley pointed out that mobile computing has become increasingly important over the last 12 months, leading to greater use of netbooks and smartphones.

She claimed that more workers are opting to use mini notebooks because they are competitively priced and an easy way to operate while on the move.

In addition, Ms Hattersley said: 'Smartphones such as the iPhone or the Google Nexus are where the biggest growth market is happening, certainly. Whether they will supersede the desktop PC, though, is quite unlikely.'

The expert also predicted that the Google Android mobile phone operating system could be one of the most popular technologies of 2010 and claimed that people are waiting to see if Apple can develop a tablet PC which is as good as its iPhone.

Recently, a survey by Airwide Solutions found that GPS-enabled navigation devices are regarded as the top innovation of the decade, followed by mobile broadband and the iPhone.
