Mobile technology has continued to evolve throughout the last few years, with Apple and Google’s Android operating system dominating the current market. But what’s the future of mobile technology? What does 2012 hold for the industry and its consumers?

Video encoding and transcoding company Guerilla have gone some way to answering those questions with the following infographic, originally published on their website:

The most interesting sections for me are on mobile TV (the market exceeding $15billion in 2012) and the integration of cloud computing into mobile devices, allowing all the data and complicated computing modules to be processed via the cloud and resulting in much faster performance for mobile users.

As you might imagine we’re big fans of smartphones here at Gadgets Gizmos Gossip, with the majority of our team using their iPhone / Android phone to do everything from play games to publish blog posts. But it seems as though more and more of us are using our smartphones to make purchases online; a growing phenomenon highlighted by the Value Of Mobile Payments infographic, brought to us by Cashlog.

The infographic displays some phenomenal and fascinating statistics; particularly that mobile internet usage will exceed desktop usage by 2014.

The design also highlights some barriers to adoption when it comes to making purchases via mobile devices, with concerns over security being the most prominent.

Rumours about the technical specifications and release date of the iPhone 5 have been flying around the internet for months, but it appears we could now have the strongest indication of the imminent arrival of Apple’s new handset, according to an article by T3.
The article suggests that Apple have stopped all staff holidays for the first fortnight in October, leading many to believe that this will be the period that the iPhone 5 arrives in the United Kindom.

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, but numerous sources have suggested that Apple will be adopting this ‘holiday blackout’ during October, even asking staff members with holiday already booked to change their plans.

Rumours also continue about the specifications of the new iPhone, with many expecting it to feature the dual-core processor currently utilised in the iPad2. I would also expect a new slimline design and improved levels of storage, RAM and probably a higher quality camera.
