Top 100 Mobile Trends in November

From Diabetes Data-Tracking Apps to Emoji Hotel Services

— November 29, 2015 — Tech
The top November 2015 mobile trends showcase a number of innovations that range from smartphone devices, mobile software applications, protective cases and innovative applications of Apple's iBeacon system.

Amsterdam's Beacon Mile is a beacon-guided city walk that takes users through a portion of the Dutch capital with helpful prompts that provide detailed information on their surroundings. Launched as an open public testing area for beacon technology in the city, the program aims to kickstart innovative applications of the system.

Separately, hotelier chain Aloft Hotels recently introduced Emoji-based room service ordering that truly redefines the accommodation experience. Guests can order from a selection of six packages that include necessities like toothpaste.

The top November 2015 mobile trends speak to potentially overlooked patterns of opportunity for all sectors and industries.
