Second Careers for Aging Mobile Phones

Pleasanton, CA (PRWEB) April 28, 2008 -- Zurado Systems announced today that it intends to promote its PXT Portal software as a vehicle for breathing new life into aging mobile phones that have been cast aside because consumers and corporate IT departments have upgraded to newer, more feature-packed models.

According to recent Gartner data 1.15 billion mobile phones were sold worldwide in 2007. Of those roughly 39 percent were replacements for existing units. This means that in 2007 alone approximately 450 million phones worldwide were displaced by new upgrades. Where are all of these displaced phones going? Some of these units are going to landfills, some are recycled, some are donated to charity, and a great many are simply ending up as clutter in drawers and cabinets at home and the workplace.

Mobile phones are commonly regarded as useless once service is discontinued and they can no longer be used to make calls, send text messages, and surf the internet. "Not necessarily so," said Todd Marques, president of Zurado Systems. "Many mobile phones have powerful processors, plenty of memory, lots of storage, and sophisticated operating systems capable of running several applications simultaneously. These phones can be repurposed in exciting ways. We think phones can have productive second careers."
