Current Android smartphones include about 25 to 35 essential applications(unerasable) related to function and operation of the android smartphone itself and about 30 optional applications(removable) provided by carriers, Google and manufacturers. These applications were not able to be removed until the announcement of the smartphone applications pre-install guide from the government in January 2014, so there were memory limitations in installing new applications, causing consumer complaints by consuming data during the auto-update process of the pre-installed applications. After the announcement, we were able to delete optional applications but the complaints about the data consumption still did not disappear. Therefore, in this paper, we carried out the customer survey and analyzed the behavior information such as how carriers are operating pre-installed applications and what kind of applications customer prefers and how many applications customer wants to be pre-installed. And we proposed how to configure pre-install applications on smartphone for customer needs.

Catch-up is a well-known and familiar terminology for innovation scholars in developing countries such as Taiwan, Korea and China. The strategy, however, is too difficult to perform in each industry. This study looks into a catch-up strategy that Apple and Xiaomi used and examines the results on the creative imitation of business model in the smartphone industry. It is quite surprising that even Apple is based on catch-up strategy. They wanted to catch-up Nokia. Our case study shows that these two companies quickly caught up with the leaders, and the common feature of their strategy is characterized as creative imitation of business model. Creative imitation of business model is different from creative imitation of innovation. Furthermore, this research confirms that the creative imitation of business model leads to aggressive creative innovation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between tourist 's intention to use smartphone and the preceding factors through the questionnaire. For achieving this research purpose, this study surveyed the tourists who use smartphone to investigate the influence of interactivity such as two-way communication and synchronicity as hypotheses on the influence of flow, and the effect of attitude factors on continuous intention to use was analyzed by research model. In this study, a partial least squares based structural equation (PLS-SEM) method was applied to verify the hypothesis of the proposed research model. Finally, the validity of the proposed research model was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing. Therefore, the results of this study show that interactivity and flow are influential for the reuse of users in utilizing information by using smartphone, and it affects the attitude of users in developing smart tourism system in the future. The results of this study can be utilized as basic data related to the acquisition of information by smartphone of tourists in the future development of smart tourism system.

Apple recently announced a new policy about software development kit that banned the use of tools that convert apps built on other platforms into iPhone apps. Therefore, Adobe cannot develop their software to AppStore that inquire to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission about antitrust actions. Someone argue that Apple try to exclusive smartphone market such as the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit in 1998, but this case is essentially different. First, it need to define Apple's software development kit for iPhone and iPad is whether antitrust or not. Because of the characteristics of two-sided market in Smartphone Apple's iPhone cannot monopoly in cellphone or smartphone market, but it can be an antitrust in application store market. However, Apple re-announced new software development kit policy that shows positive results. Instead of hastily intervened regulatory agencies, the DOJ or the FTC, it is quite desirable that watching the interaction between companies that whether market failures or not and if it's harmful for consumer's benefit.

This study investigated the correlation between smartphone addiction and eating behaviors of 288 elementary school students (fifth and sixth grades) in the Ansan area. Addiction and normal groups consisted of 29 (10.1%) and 259 students (89.9%). Average usage time of the smartphone addiction group was higher than that of the normal group (P<0.001). Percentages of using a smartphone when eating meals as well as skipping meals due to using a smartphone were also higher in the addiction group than the normal group (P<0.01). Degree of reduction of physical activity and sleep disorders due to using a smartphone were higher in the addiction group than the normal group (P<0.001). However, nutritional knowledge related to protein and dietary life scored lower in the addiction group than the normal group (P<0.05). Correlation between smartphone usage time and eating behaviors was as follows: smartphone usage time on weekdays increased with elevated usage time on weekends in the addiction group (+0.742) (P<0.001) and the normal group (+0.762) (P<0.001). Frequency of snack intake in the addiction group increased with elevated usage time on weekdays (+0.460) (P<0.05). Sleeping time of the normal group decreased with elevated usage time on weekdays (-0.150) (P<0.05), and good eating behaviors decreased with elevated usage time the on weekend (-0.143) (P<0.05). Consequently, smartphone addiction in elementary school students showed negative eating behaviors. Therefore, effective nutritional education programs and national support policy are required to solve problems of unhealthy eating behaviors from smartphone usage in elementary school students.

Nowadays, Smart media services such as smartphone applications are proliferated through the convergence of social media and the information and communication technologies(ICT). In many countries, the ICT policy is strategically used to solve the economic recession and high unemployment rate caused by the global financial crisis. However, the Korean ICT policies have declined with the abolition of the Ministry of information and communication. This paper suggests the dynamic quality of life as a philosophical foundation of Korean ICT policy and the dynamic policy PR methods for the social consultation and people's approval(national consensus), because the component of dynamic quality of life are embodied in the elements of ICT policy that should be realized through the governance, in which both Korean government and people produce and consume the ICT policies together in the era of smart media.
