First smartphone was called Simon, it was designed by IBM in 1992 and shown as a concept product that year at COMDEX, the computer industry trade show held in Nevada. It was released to the public in 1993 and sold by BellSouth. Besides being a mobile phone, it also contained a calendar, adress book , world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, send and receive fax, and games. It had no physical buttons to dial with. Instead customers used a touch screen to select phone numbers with a finger or create facsimiles and memos with an optional stylus. Text was entered with a unique on-screen "predictive" keyboard. By today's standards, the Simon would be a fairly low-end product. However, its feature set at the time was incredibly advanced.
Nowadays, the technologies are developed very good and the best smartphones are Iphone, Blackberry,Nokia,HTC, ect. that provide the owner with functions like: Flashlight,Wifi, Market,Youtube,FM radio,Maps,News,Weather,Voice recorder and many other functions.
To have a smartphone is it very convinient because they really offer us everything a computer offers,but the dimentions are smaller and more practical.
In general,a smartphone will be based on operating system that allouds smartphones to run.
While almost all cells include some sort of software,a smartphone will have the ability to do more. It may allow you to create and edit Microsoft files. It may allow you to download applications,such as personal and business finance managers.Or it may allow you to edit photos,get driving directions via gps and create a list of digital tunes.
The smartphones are really usefull things and may offer you a lot of help if something helps (via free internet and GPS)
