Smartphones and Tablets Are Changing The World Yet Again

Smart phones look set to change the way the news is reported with mobile journalists and real time uploads for on-the-run news.

Paris France, CA (prHWY.com) January 9, 2012 - People around the world are more likely to pick up their smartphone or tablet PC to check the news, than pick up a newspaper.

Checking the latest news online is far quicker, easier, more accessible and more up to date than the antiquated newpapers, a recent study has found. With 47% of people checking the latest news feeds on-the-move, news-stands have seen a drop in sales and even the free Metro newspaper is shunned for the touch-screen gadgets.

With more and more newspapers and magazines offering an iPhone or iPad version of their text, it's also saving the companies huge amounts of money from printing and distribution but this is also having an effect on those subsidiary companies or suppliers of production companies. As more people are hunting around for by-the-second news thanks to the likes of Twitter, Facebook pages and Google News, newspapers are already out of date by the time they have even been loaded into the lorries and vans to spread them around the UK.

As mobile news is the latest way that news is being consumed, the indicators of how the news will be reported also points at mobiles and tablet PCs. Real-time content from journalists or mobile journalists (MoJos) give an instant stream of data and information that would have usually meant waiting at least 12-24 hours for in the past. Now people can tap into news feeds or even have alerts for particular keywords that buzz you if a topic of interest is posted online.

With the technology advancements in the mobile world coming around almost weekly, it's been a busy year already for the PhoneShop.co.uk which has over 1 million contract mobile phones and tablet PCs available. As the iPhone 5 is rumoured to be available later this year, which will have enhancements in functionality and features, the phone shop expects 2012 to be a record-breaking year. A spokesperson for the PhoneShop.co.uk said, "With social media taking the news and everything else by storm, people simply need a smartphone to be up to date and be on-the-ball with what is happening in the world. Things change, sales start and end, discounts have time limits, and people need information faster than ever. A smart phone or a tablet PC is the tool for that job."

As news teams have "MoJo" reporters chasing down new stories, breaking news, facts and figures, as well as the ability to send large files of data back to head office, this allows smartphone users to tap into the information within seconds of it being uploaded. As faster, more adaptable and cleverer systems are developed, UK customers continue to buy and replace their own tablet PC or smartphone at an ever increasing rate.

For those that have an expiring contract smartphone or are looking to upgrade and buy a better, faster, more powerful smartphone to keep up to date with news, views and reviews, www.PhoneShop.co.uk has a broad selection of phones to choose from.
