The first mobile phones were developed in 1970s and 1980s, and evolved to smartphones in 2007 with announcements of iPhone with iOS from Apple, and Android OS from Google. Its precursors include i-mode from NTT DoCoMo in 1999, and Prada from LG in 2006.
The smartphone became very popular almost from the beginning in 2007, and it was taking over desktop and laptop computers as the primary access device to the Internet in 2010s especially among developing countries due to its low cost despite its small screen size from 3 to 6 inches. Almost all Internet applications were modified to accommodate the smartphone in 2000s.
Tablets were also developed in 2000s with the same operating systems as the smartphone and larger screen sizes ranging from 6 to 12 inches, but without telephone function. They are increasingly replacing laptop computers in 2010s.
We anticipate the smartphone to be the dominant Internet access device in the coming decades, and it is the driving force for proliferation of the Internet from 3 billion Internet users in the world in 2013 to 7 billion in 2020s. Other access devices such as the tablet and computers would be the complimentary access devices in the coming decade.
