People-OnTheGo, a productivity training company, today announced the release of The Smartphone Experiment book, the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help business professionals select the smartphone that is best suited to their needs. Featuring 12 of the latest and most popular devices, including the new iPhone, the book provides experiential product reviews as well as methodologies that assist buyers in conducting their own evaluations and making successful purchasing decisions.
Smartphones continue to grow in popularity, as business professionals continue to seek better ways to stay connected and productive while on the go. According to recent forecasts from ABI
Research, the smartphone market will grow from 218 million units in 2007 to 426 million units in 2012. However, as more products are introduced and as smartphone technologies and wireless
service plans become more complex, buyers are finding it more difficult to select the smartphone that best meets their requirements. And with an average purchase price of $200-$500, a bad
decision can be an expensive.
Written by People-OnTheGo Founder and CEO Pierre Khawand, The Smartphone Experiment book was born out of an "81-day experiment" designed to document the experience of a typical smartphone
buyer and user. The experiment, which evaluated nine cell phones, each for nine days, was documented on The 81-Day Experiment blog (http://81dayexperiment.typepad.com) which continues to
provide updates, new information and discussions related to current smartphone technologies, the 12 most popular smartphone models, and buyer experiences.
