Smart Phones of today

The year 2007 saw a revolution in cell phones when Apple launched its iPhone. Having set the standard, other companies scrambled to develop a new and better iPhone-like cell phone to compete.

Although many new features were brought to Motorola and Nokia cell phones, there are still gaps to be filled.

However, in spite of the fact that these companies are competing to develop the ?ultimate cell phone?, what actually occurs is that each model serves different needs, and thus different types of users.

As it is, although the objective is to obtain the biggest portion of the cell market, each company has its own segment and specializes in its own features.
