What is a Smart Phone?

By definition, a smart phone is a cell phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a standard cell phone. Essentially, a smart phone is a handheld computer integrated with a regular cell phone into one very portable unit. Smart phones run complete operating system (OS) software providing a platform for application developers to create downloadable applications that can be installed by the consumer.

In 2002, Research in Motion (RIM) introduced the BlackBerry which was the industry’s first smart phone optimized for wireless e-mail. In additional to handling POP3 and Web-based e-mail, today’s smart phones also communicate well with the most popular social networking sites (e.g., Twitter and Facebook). Some smart phones, such as the BlackBerry Curve 8330, have a pre-loaded Facebook shortcut displaying in the list of applications.

The insatiable demand for advanced mobile devices equipped with powerful processors, increased memory capabilities, larger screens and open operating systems have made smart phones the fastest growing segment of the cell phone market. According to a 2010 study by ComScore, over 45.5 million people in the United States own smart phones. http://sntk.in/8b0346f9
