Smartphones have become increasingly popular for society, so popular that many would feel lost without one. Over half the adult population now owns a smartphone and the number is still rising. The uses for smartphones are vast and it is important to know their capabilities. This brings up four key factors to consider when purchasing a smartphone.
The first factor that must be looked into is the importance of built-in wireless networking. Built in wireless has become beyond common for smartphones to have. The reason it has become so common is because of the reliability, convenience, and money saving it offers. A Wi-Fi spot offers a stable internet connection for one to use no matter what the smartphone’s reception might be in the area. Many fast-food restaurants now have Wi-Fi for customer convenience. The restaurant’s Wi-Fi enables a person to easily connect and surf the web while they dine. The money saving aspect comes into play when the individual can use Wi-Fi instead of the users own data plan to download, update, and surf the web.
The next aspect a consumer must observe is the amount and capability of built-in ports. This is the phones main way of transferring data, sound, and power. A head phone port is important to many. This allows someone to privately listen to music in a public setting or wherever the need be. This feature also turns the phone into a mp3 player on its own, which allows one to cut out the middle man, or the need to buy a music player. Most phones have a universal charger and universal serial bus (usb) port; this excludes the whole apple line of products, which have their own port system. A memory card port satisfies many costumers. Like the other ports, it makes data transferring a lot easier. Since cam...

In the 1980s, first generation (1G) cell phones consisted of voice-only analog devices with limited range and features that were sold mainly in North America. In the 1990s, second generation (2G) devices consisted of voice/data digital cell phones with higher data transfer rates, expanded range, and more features. Sales of these devices expanded to Europe and Asia. In the twenty-first century, Nokia and other companies are combining several digital technologies into third generation (3G) communication devices that reach globally and feature the convergence of the cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), Internet services, and multimedia applications.

Since 2008, the smartphone, a device that combines a normal cell phone with a computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc. all in your hand was deemed as ground-breaking technology and created one of the largest and most competitive markets in terms of technology to date. Their increased popularity continued to grow and today, it is very hard to encounter someone without a smartphone. These devices allow people to disconnect from reality and grant them access to the world as a whole. People use these devices to manage their daily routine, dictating what they should do and when they should do it.
The year is 2014, the markets are changing constantly, and they always have to meet the needs of new consumers as well as old consumers. Mobile telephones have been in the retail and wholesale business for quite some time, and are only evolving from here on out. There are things that these cell phones can bring us that are major benefits in our everyday lives. Cell phones bring us maps, radios, address books, and even flashlights now. Cell phones have taken shape from a huge portable device to a more convenient thin device that can fit in your pocket. With time in any consumer market, the consumer adapts to the technology that makes their life easier. The constant innovation of cell phones has led us to smart phones, and these smart phones are capable of putting certain businesses out of the market. Businesses that engineered PDAs in the past were met with challenges because smart phones are able to match their productivity. Land lines have become useless since everyone can afford a mobile device now. Listening to music has also switched from a traditional CD Player/MP3 Player to an everyday smart phone.
Within a few years, there will be well over a billion mobile phone users worldwide and the majority of mobile phones will be connected to the Internet.
