All consumer technologies and products go through a cycle of maturity.At initial stages in experimental mode, earlier they used to stay within closed set of users.During early commercial stages it falls into early adopters. These users look to us common people as geeks or tech savvy. We forget to realize that once proven successful they are going to be common place in our life.Mobile Phone and Internet are two of those I have witnessed going through this cycle.Earlier mobile phones were used by either elite rich or early adapters. Now even my grandmother who is from era of no phone is seen using mobile phone. I see my mother playing games on today’s touch screen tablets.
This cycle is bound to happen for all successful consumer products.Two sublets that are under going this cycle now are Smart Phones and Mobile Internet.Soon daily labor are going to user mobile Internet on smart phones.
When people ask for difference between Smart Phone and regular phone or which all devices are called smart phones, one thing very clear is if a device is full touch, it is termed as smart phone. Though this may not be the original definition, this definition is in wide usage.
Or any phone which uses OS that are termed smart, could be called Smart Phones.
