Mobile phones have been a big success from the first day they came on the market even though they were hardly capable of doing anything. This is, obviously, no longer the case. Today they are mini computers with advanced and complex interfaces. A world without them is unimaginable. And with the Internet becoming more and more mobile friendly it makes sense to also make your website accessible for mobile phones.
Visits of such mobile sites has grown exponentially compared to Internet use with regular computers and any company should seriously consider making use of this platform.
President Obama used mobile marketing in his campaign and reached people who did not read newspapers, did not go to his regular website, did not read electronic news...but responded to his mobile campaign.
The amount of time spent to tweet or use facebook and google has grown exponentially; even more than usage of the same sites with regular computers.

Deposit Checks Using Your iPhone
A privately held bank, USAA, offers an iPhone app that will allow you to use your touchscreen phone to deposit checks. While other banks offer mundane services like deposit totals, activity in the account or transfer funds, this financial services company will allow you to deposit a check using the iPhone's camera. Snap a picture of both sides of the check, properly endorsed of course, send it over to the bank and the deposit will be made.
“We’re essentially taking an image of the check, and once you hit the send button, that image is going into our deposit-taking system as any other check would,” said Wayne Peacock, a USAA executive vice president. Because the whole process is done electronically, to protect against fraud the customer must be eligible for credit and must have some form of insurance from USAA.
This is not a New York money center bank if you're wondering about it. Ranking just under the top 20 banks in the U.S., USAA has just one branch (and that is in San Antonio) and deals with mostly military personnel, although many of its products are open to anyone. While it might not be feasible for you to become a USAA customer, this still gives you a good idea of the direction we are heading into with today's feature loaded smartphones and fierce competition amongst banks to hold your assets. And while the app currently is for iPhone users only, USAA plans on expanding it for use on other smartphones in the future.
