How Smartphones Have Evolved
Cellphones have evolved a lot in the past couple of decades since they were first launched. Literally thousands upon thousands of different phones have been made. Some smartphones have become very sophisticated and technically advanced. So, what exactly is a “smart phone”?
The demand for smart phones is growing because of the general belief that your data and information must accompany you wherever you go, and that you need to be accessible to your contacts no matter where you are. Your information can be kept on your phone or even on the internet. In future, smartphones will have faster processors, better screens and even more storage space than they already do.

Android, the Google made open source OS that has been seen on popular handsets from the likes of HTC and Acer, has shown significant growth over the last year.
In quarter one of 2009 it only held a 1.9% share, but it has been reported that the share has grown by a massive 600% to a respectable 9.6% share of the smartphone market in the last year. While the platform is still lagging behind the frontrunners, it has been showing great potential which is likely to show things turned around in the near future. Symbian and RIM’s BlackBerry operating systems own a 44.3% and 19.4% share, respectively, while Apple’s iPhone OS holds a 15.4% share of the market – 4.9% up from quarter one of last year.
