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.
