Ever heard of Blackberries? Ever heard of UMTS cards for Laptops? The invention of smartphones did not do much to improve work efficiency of professionals.

Blackberries are smartphones aren't they? The work efficiency has improved a lot with the rise of the smartphone. the speed advantage of not having to be at your desktop to read an email is insane.. the communcation between you and a client is much faster nowadays.. even between co-workers it has been improved.. a storage manager can recieve the orders directly on the floor on his smartphone and doesn't need to go back to his office to check his mail..

More mail is opened on mobile then on a desktop



Sure depending were you work, it might not have been a improvement.. but for a lot of industries it did..

Yes, you can say Blackberries are smartphones. They existed before the iPhone though. having an iPhone compared to a blackberry does not improve work efficiency. When technologie get adopted is a different topic. I am using blackberries since 2005 and a UMTS card since 2007. You can open your laptop in Cabs, Trains, Airplanes, anywhere and work. People who work in high-pressure environments seldom drive their own car.

Therefore, no real changes in work efficiency since the introduction of BB/UMTS Laptops. Depending on adoption of course.
