Unlike the basic 2G mobile phones, which \"merely\" facilitated communication between individuals on the move, smartphones allow individuals to communicate, to entertain and inform themselves, to transact, to navigate, to take photos, and countless other things. Mobile communication has thus transformed society by allowing new forms of coordination, communication, consumption, social interaction, and access to news\/entertainment. All of this is regardless of the space in which users are immersed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet in the context of the developed and the developing world, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Mobile Communication and Society \u003c\/em\u003eupdates current scholarship surrounding mobile media and communication.
