The graphic below pits our social network usage against the huge adoption of mobile phones - currently at 4.6 billion worldwide. Facebook, with over 500 million users, is still around 10 times smaller than the worldwide mobile market. Even web-based e-mail, which accounts for over 800 million users collectively, barely holds a candle to the mobile juggernaut. The key here is convergence.

"Last week I was in a bit of a bind: My mobile broadband key from 3 wasn't getting reception, while my Optus-powered Samsung Galaxy S had enough reception to get me online, but I needed to use the laptop. Then I remembered that the Galaxy S lets you use the phone's 3G connection as a mobile hotspot and I thought to myself, "All phones should have this feature!"
