Current Skills in Unit 1.
Mobile
Phones and Smart Phones
This is my learning journal for unit 1. I am an owner of
a smart phone “Blackberry”.
A mobile phone is more frequently called a cellular
phone or cellphone. These communication devices connect to a wireless
communications network through radio waves or satellite transmissions. Most
mobile phones provide voice communications, Short Message Service, Multimedia
Message Service, and newer phones may also provide Internet services such as
Web browsing, instant messaging capabilities and e-mail.
A
smartphone is considered to be the combination of the traditional PDA and
cellular phone, with a bigger focus on the cellular phone part. These handheld
devices integrate mobile phone capabilities with the more common features of a
handheld computer or PDA. Smartphones allow users to store information, e-mail,
install programs, along with using a mobile phone in one device. A smartphone's
feature is usually more oriented towards mobile phone options than the PDA-like
features. There is no industry standard for what defines a smartphone, so any
mobile device that has more than basic cellphone capabilities can actually be
filed under the smartphone category of devices.
I use my phone for phoning people, texting, music,
internet, camera, time & date, games and calculator. I think life would be
very difficult without phones because it would be very hard to keep in contact with
others. I hope to learn more about phones that I don’t really know. J
