Mobile devices have become an extremely useful business tool because of the flexibility they provide. Rather than being tethered to a desk with a computer you can now take the information with you wherever you go. Mobile devices allow you to check and respond to emails any time anywhere. You can access and share important documents through the use of cloud services such as Google Docs. You literally have the world at your finger tips through the use of mobile devices. This opens up doors for the average business person that were not available twenty years ago. Now you do not have to worry about something coming up while you are out of the office, there is no more waiting around for a document to come in because you do not want to miss it.
Even just a standard "non-smart" cell phone provides mobility from the office rather than being stuck at the desk waiting for an important phone call. I can remember when I first started in sales we had to have dedicated office hours so we could schedule follow ups. Sometimes a missed call meant a missed sale, now with call forwarding you can take that call anywhere.

As technology advances the use of mobile devices will continue to become faster and smaller making them more appealing to business professionals. Combine that with the fact that the younger generations are being raised on IPADs, IPOD Touch, and mobile gaming, by the time they enter the work force mobile devices will be 2nd nature to them.
