What is driving smartphone adoption and how does that impact Mobile Health adoption

If the Smartphones are a cinch to continue outgrowing PC sales, what is the reason?  Is it that Smartphones are mobile?  Is it because the computing power has reached a magical line that is good enough for most tasks?  Is it because 3G and 4G Wireless Networks are available and provide sufficient bandwidth for most applications?  Is it because Cloud based services provide instantaneous access to documents, files, music, movies, media and anything consumes and business people require?  The answer is an obvious yes to all above and therefore the answer is yes that Smartphones shipments will outpace PC shipments for the rest of time...until there is something better than Smartphones!  How does this impact Mobile Health Adoption?  Is it the analogous rising tide raises all boats?  Studies indicate both physicians and patients are interested in monitoring their health, the confluence of that desire and the explosion of Smartphone adoption surely leads to Mobile Health Application Adoption/Expansion.
