HTC: About Smartphones

What is a Smartphone? The best description of a smartphone comes from Michael Junto Yuan's article on the O'Reilly Network. In short, a smartphone is a converged device that has characteristics of both a computer and a mobile phone.

Unlike a traditional mobile phone, a smartphone has large amounts of local storage and memory and an operating system. And unlike a traditional computer, a smartphone has full telephonic utility.

What else sets a smartphone apart from other mobile devices? Please add your thoughts and link to great examples.

  • It's programmable! The ability for third-party programmers to create applications that make the user experience richer is one of the characteristics that makes smartphones the perfect converged device. What are some of your favorite applications? Notice: Please be careful when downloading applications for your smartphone.

  • It can sync up with your desktop or laptop to act as a computer away from your computer.
  • It can access the net via both WAP or HTML, giving you access to all the Web 2.0 features that you'd use on your main computer.
  • Fun stuff! With the addition of a memory card, smartphones can act as a mobile entertainment center to watch video, listen to music, and create user-generated content, including audio, video, blogging, and photography.
  • It can be used to remotley access your home computor.
