Well the writers at Social Media Dudes think so. These days the majority of cell phone owners are smartphone users, and for good reason. A recent post described how one of these wonderful little devices can change your life, both personally and professionally.

Using a smartphone can increase your productivity while using applications and settings that keep you on top of important events and details in your life. Your schedule, documents, contacts and social networks are available at your fingertips to keep you connected and engaged with friends and clients.

You are also more prepared and informed with smartphone apps, receiving real-time notifications so you’re always up to date. GPS, the Internet, even traffic updates means you are one step ahead of the next person, every time.

As with most technology, there is also the potential for fun. While waiting for an appointment or sitting on the train you can access hundreds of games, surf the web or browse your Facebook and Twitter to unwind and relax.

So for those of you who haven’t invested in a smartphone yet, I think it’s time you should be asking yourself why.

Which smartphone applications do you use most often?
