This article was featured on CNN.com. Essentially it summarizes the amazingness that is the iphone, as well as the applications that it possesses. It reviews what applications are the most popular and the most useful. For example, they talks about popular applications: Kindle, pandora, goodfood, and etc. As an iphone user, I do use pandora, but not the other ones. Apparently there are a lot more iphone applications are supposed to be coming out soon. There are a lot of good and smart applications that the iphone has. My person favorite is "shazam." It's the program where you can hold your phone up to the radio and it will tell you what song is playing. I use that, my facebook app, my email app, and my gaming apps the most. I hope they come out with more apps that allow the user to send a recieve picture messages. What are the next generation of app's going to do for the user?

Our assignment this week is to choose a source from out annotated bibliogrpahy and talk about it further in our IMS blog. I chose the o'reilly site to expound upon. Essentially, this website describes what a smart phone is. It talks about the different types of smart phones (PDA’s, mobile phones, and etc.) Also, it talks about the development and the emergence of smart phones into the public eye. Lastly, it asks and answers the question: What is a smart phone? This article seems to be reliable and useful to the general public. I found this via cnn.com. Also, this seemed to be a helpful website.
I know those of us who have smart phones cannot and will not live without them. Personally, I am fully addicted to my iphone. I enjoy getting emails as soon as they come in, facebook when I'm bored in class, and etc. Basically smart phones are our future. The main focus is impoving the network connection and creating impecible software for the users. My hopes are that they begin to reduce the price once smart phones become even more popular.
