Is this all we will see on the shelves in years to come? | You may ask yourself why basic cell phones are starting to be phased out? well the answer to that is many of the phones that we are used of using have now become obsolete due to th rise in Smart phones in the last 5 years. Smart phones have become almost a standard for communication in the last few years due to the drop in price and the increased need for Internet functionality. | |
The Cell phone was originally designed to make communicating easier and it has done that over the last 30 years. During the later stages of the 90's the Internet took more ground in the way that we communicated, with chat software like Yahoo and ICQ becoming popular along with traditional email systems. It became clear that the mobile phone technologies were going to have to be interfaced to interact with the Internet and its resources. Now the first Smart phones that came out in the early 90's had the right concept allowing fax and other functions to take place on a standard cell phone, but it wasn't really until Palm, and Rim came along with fully functional phones that could access Internet & email on demand that the evolution of the mobile Internet Browser was beginning to take off. Browsers like Internet Explorer and Opera Browser both in a mobile format are very popular still. Opera, a cross platform browser is able to be installed on many of the Smart Phone platforms of today. | ||
