Smartphone
A smartphone is generally
considered any handheld device that integrates
personal information management and mobile phone
capabilities in the same device. Often, this
includes adding phone functions to already
capable PDAs or putting "smart" capabilities,
such as PDA functions, into a mobile phone.
The key feature of a smartphone is that one can
install additional applications to the device.
The applications can be developed by the
manufacturer of the handheld device, by the
operator or by any other 3rd party software
developer.
As of 2004 smartphones are an increasingly large
part of the mobile phone market. In a couple
years, it is likely that most phones sold will
be considered "smart", except for disposable
phones.
Most common operating systems are Symbian
(developed by a group including Nokia), Windows
CE (developed by Microsoft), BREW (technically a
platform, developed by Qualcomm), Linux and Palm
OS. In an August, 2004 report by In-Stat/MDR,
Symbian-based smartphones will dominate over the
next 5 years. Microsoft's platform will be
second by 2006.
Smartphones in the US tend to be PDAs with phone
capabilities while those in Europe and Japan
tend to be phones with PDA capabilities.
Features tend to include Internet access, email
access, scheduling software, built-in camera,
contact management, and occasionally the ability
to read business documents in a variety of
formats such as PDF and Microsoft Office. In the
CTIA conference held in Atlanta, Georgia in
March 2004, incorporation of television into the
smartphone was among the topics discussed.
Opera's "Small-Screen Rendering" is a special
way to reformat webpages to fit inside the small
screen width, hence eliminating the need for
horizontal scrolling.
