Internet based Industry group MobileFuture has a great video to explain that 2010 was “the year mobile connected the world”. The most apparent trend for 2010: the fast-growing popularity of downloadable mobile applications (from 300 million in 2009 to 5 billion in 2010), and location-based, social networking and video services in particular is mentioned.



It was also the year of an explosion of data traffic, spurred by the increasing amount of content available for consumption through mobile phones, more capable smartphones and an ever-increasing number of high-end phone buyers. MobileFuture says one, unnamed carrier’s data traffic has ballooned 3,000 percent since 2008.

Texting is also disturbingly popular an activity, particularly in US and Europe – 3,339 is the average number of texts sent per month by US teens alone.

That and more in the fast-paced Mobile Year in Review 2010 round-up video:
