2. A smartphone is a high-end mobile phone that
combines the functions of a personal digital
assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone.

3.  Today's models typically also serve as portable
media players and camera phones with high-
resolution touchscreens, web browsers that can
access and properly display standard web
pages rather than only mobile-optimized
sites, GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and mobile
broadband access.

4.  Smartphones run mobile operating systems
such as Apple's iOS, Google's Android,
Microsoft's Windows Phone, Nokia's Symbian,
RIM's BlackBerry OS, and embedded Linux
distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo.

5.  The first smartphone was the IBM Simon; it
was designed in 1992 and shown as a concept
product that year at COMDEX, the computer
industry trade show held in Las Vegas,
Nevada. It was released to the public in 1993
and sold by BellSouth. Besides being a mobile
phone, it also contained a calendar, address
book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail
client, the ability to send and receive faxes, and
games.
