The new innovation of smart-phones are becoming increasingly popular among… well… everyone. It’s almost like everyone owns a smart-phone these days and those that don’t want one.
The new leap in technology has made a new way to play video games as well. Now people don’t need bulky computers, or even a laptop, to play video games. Nowadays I doubt you can go up to anyone who owns a smart-phone and have them tell you they don’t have a video game on it. It’s impossible.
Since the innovation of smart-phones, the displays have become clearer and faster. In addition, battery technology and power usage has made it possible for even complex games to be displayed on a cellphone.
The smart-phone industry has spawned new opportunities through cell phone apps, and many of these apps are written by individuals and small game companies. The use of apps are beneficial not only for gaming, but for retrieving internet data efficiently. Many apps have been created in a short amount of time and reflect the ingenuity of the developer community as millions of people are buying them.
What’s inside the phone is also something else entirely. Many support dual core processors and graphics units that rivaled desktop devices that just a few years ago took up more than twenty times as much space as the phone itself uses. This allows the phone to play sophisticated games such as Angry Birds, (although I would never really admit that in a group of friends.) Sooner or later we might even have the ability to play games without a sizable physical platform at all using holographic images and/or virtual reality.
