The military has seen is future and it is smartphone:

> In addition, the Army recently held a contest for soldiers to determine who could develop the best smartphone app.  
>  
> Among the apps now available on an Army Web site: bugle calls, body fat calculator, Army creeds, sniper awareness and capture avoidance. (Most apps are for both the iPhone and Android phones, but some are for just one system.)  
>  
> “We have to adapt to where they are,” General Greene said, speaking of the need to appeal to young soldiers and teach them in ways, and on devices, they are accustomed to. “This is something we absolutely have to do.”
