Androids and Smart Phones

A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone. The first smartphones were devices that mainly combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone or camera phone. Today's models also combine the functions of media players, digital cameras, video cameras, and GPS navigation. Modern smartphones typically also have high-res touchscreens, web browsers that can access and properly display standard web pages rather than just mobile-optimized sites, and high-speed data access via Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. One of the most significant differences between a smart phone and a trditional phone is the advanced application programming interfaces (APIs) on smartphones for running third-party applications..... APPS

Apps allow you to customize a phone to your specific set of wants and needs. They are generally easy to find and install, and once you start using them, will become a necessary part of your mobile life. Businesspeople will want to be connected to their email as well as be able to review documents, track expenses, and maintain lists of contact information for various groups of people. Most users in general will want email, internet access, and depending upon their preferences, music and games, along with many of the items a businessperson needs. The needs of both types of users can be met in a multimedia smartphone with the appropriate apps.
