The mobile phone industry is ever changing. Ever since smart phones have come into the market, things started to change from voice plans to more data plans. Ten years ago, most cell phone companies focused their plans with attention to voice systems. Mobile companies focused on gearing their voice plans around prices points that allowed for extra charges for minutes used over the allotted amount. Once text messaging became very popular, mobile carriers changed their plans to maximize their profits for plans offering text messaging plans. A recent study showed that most text messaging plans offering unlimited text messages are charging astronomical fees per megabyte of data service. As smart phones became more popular with users, mobile carriers benefited greatly from added data plans. These data plans took away revenue from mobile carriers in terms of voice and text messaging plans. Applications available for smart phones now offer services that allow for free test messages via data plans already paid for by the customer. A pulse oximeter, also known as an oximeter, is a medical device that measures the blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate of an individual. An oximeter is a very popular device these days, as more and more people have become familiar with it. A pulse oximeter used to be only available in clinical settings, but with recent advances in technology has completely changed the oximeter. Now an oximeter is smaller than more cell phones and available for fewer than one hundred dollars. With new smart phones offering various applications, the pulse oximeter industry has also stepped up to offer its customers the same options. Now an application for a pulse oximeter allows the user to send his or her vital information to their smart phone via Bluetooth or ANT+. Applications like this one for a pulse oximeter have changed the mobile phone industry completely. These applications provide more possibilities for users, but they also create new challenges for cellular companies. These companies are constantly finding themselves having to reinvent themselves. They must do this just to keep themselves competitive. A pulse oximeter might not seem like a likely candidate to do this, but it really is one of the pioneer devices that helped shape the new smart phone industry. The cellular industry is currently working closely with various industries to try to stay ahead of aftermarket applications. The cellular phone industry is a perfect example of how fast technology changes.
