A Smartphone is a
mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing
ability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first Smartphone was the IBM
Simon; it was designed in 1992 and shown as a concept product. It was released
to the community in 1993 and sold by Bell South. The mobile phone had many
features such as a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, notepad,
email client; it could also send and receive faxes, and games. It used touch
screen to select telephone numbers or create faxes and memos, text was entered
with a unique on-screen keyboard. Today’s Smartphone serve as a portable media
player, compact digital camera, and GPS navigation unit. Modern Smartphones
include a high resolution touch screen, web browsers and high speed data access
via Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. In 1996, the Nokia 9000 was released, it was
characterized by clamshell design with a feature phone display, keyboard and
user interface, high-resolution display of at least 640x200 pixels and a PDA
use interface under the flip-top. In 1998, it was followed by a Nokia 9110 and
in 2000 by Nokia 9110i, with improved browsing capability (Wikipedia, 18 April 2012).
Some people would say without communication we are hopeless, different communication
system such as mobile technology, telephony, radio and TV is so important in
our lives, it is often used in our daily dealings with people around us,
entertain us, and aid us in our businesses and many more. Interestingly the
telephone system is one of the most useful communication devices since it was
invented in 1877 until now (emilgen, 2011).
