Top 100 Mobile Products for May

From Texting Hat Spoofs to Digital Doughnut Notifiers

— May 31, 2015 — Tech
As people become even more invested in their smartphones and wearable technology thanks to the creation of helpful apps, fun games and more, it's only natural that others would poke fun at it; some of this humor can be seen in these top May 2015 mobile trends. From a hilarious spoof that addresses just how involved people really are on their phones to an app that notifies people when a fresh batch of Krispy Kreme donuts are done, the playfulness is neverending.

Of course, intermixed into the top May 2015 mobile trends are products that continue to make life easier -- the donut notifier doesn't count. With specific apps, people can skip lines, be proactive when commuting and even stay safe when walking around a city.
