The need to carry cash is fading as mobile applications are enabling peer to peer payments. Gone are the days of asking the waiter to split the check 5 ways, since mobile wallets make it easy for everyone to quickly and conveniently pay their share. While tech giant Google offers a mobile payment solution called Google Wallet, consumers prefer Venmo, a start up that has since been acquired by PayPal.

Looking to IoT discussion in the month of April so far, there is budding concern about how to supply power to the growing IoT Ecosystem. The top three most popular tweets of the month in IoT Twitter discussion highlight K3OPS Energy Harvesting solution. This solution can help address the “environmental impacts in a society that requires more and more electricity” as the number of wireless connected devices grows.
Specific tweets about renewable and green energy solutions gained attention in the busy IoT market discussion, but Big Data remains a looming concern across the entire market. #BigData was the third most used hashtag, after #IoT and #InternetofThings, in the month of April so far. As an unavoidable byproduct of communication between connected devices, talk of how to process and protect all the collected data is top of mind and ranges across several subtopics within the IoT.
These topics were driving IoT discussion this month, but the market is constantly changing. Join us at our webinar this Wednesday to continue the discussion about the state of the IoT.
Technology has advanced at an incredible pace since the initial introduction of smartphones. With internet access plus a slew of features now available on nearly every device, smartphones can now be used to replace a camera, MP3 player, and even to preform functions previously reserved for laptop and desktop computers. According to analysis of consumer smartphone reviews from March and April 2016, photo taking is the most discussed smartphone usage among consumers. Not only do users mentions taking photos more than making calls, but they are also far more pleased using their phone as a camera than as an actual phone.
Let us know if you have any questions about how Smartphones fit into the Internet of Things, we will answer them in our upcoming IoT Webinar!

The Internet of Things is vast, and the immensity of the market fosters robust competition. The competitive landscape is diverse, including companies that range from chip and hardware manufacturing to developing software and optimizing data networks. However, mentions of brands only account for about ten percent of all IoT discussion.
While brand discussion is led by Intel and Google (Alphabet), conversations about IoT applications and fears are more prevalent.
