Smartphones, The Reason Why You Should Purchase One
In such a point in time, I cant really think about anyone I know who would not benefit from buying and using a Smartphone
. Even my parents, who are now both in their seventies, would find a smartphone is a useful device. Your modern smartphone can be described as a true multimedia device. Like having a desktop within your pocket, its space age technology, even further ahead than the Tricorder in Star Trek! Lets look at the features of the good smartphone and see how useful they are.
GPS:
What a bit of kit! GPS is what really sets the smartphone apart from lesser devices. Now, you comprehend where that you are, wherever you are. And more importantly, you now know where you are going. With applications like Heyway, you do not even will want to phone your friend to inform them where you are. Even better - you dont have to talk to them to guide them to you. Google maps will deal with that. So, a crowded bar, a great deal of noise, a conversation with someone you cant hear, to guide them to a bar you do not know. This is now all a thing from the past.
Camera and Video:
A camera as well as a video camera. Awesome. Back in the old days, you would see something in a street that was interesting, stand and watch for some time and then later when you were in the pub, hold your associates spellbound with an interesting rendition of the story, Peter Ustinov style. And every now and then you will still prefer to do this. Especially if you want to embellish the narrative a bit. But, you now have the preference to take a picture, or even a video of the whole event.
Take an incident I stumbled on top of last week. I am walking along Regent Street, minding my very own business, as you do. I see a crowd around a shop just past Hamleys. Like a Meer cat, my necks up and Im in search of the action. Its a shoplifter. He is being held in a headlock position by three security guards. Prada. I have not seen any real life or quality action like this for days (I was in Brixton last week). Theres a lot of shouting and hes actually doing quite good considering he is outnumbered 3 to 1. Sudden as a flash, I whip out my iphone and start video recording. This is just the sort of footage that will grant you centre stage at my weekly meeting of geeky friends at the pub. The fracas continues for several more minutes. The handbag (yes, a handbag!) he has stolen is retrieved and the law enforcement are called to take his details and ensure that he gets a warning and a vacation to the Bahamas for being underprivileged and having to steal. And I get to hold court showing the video and explaining to my mates what an interesting, diverse and dangerous part of town I work in. Everyones a winner.
Storage:
Not only do you take the pictures and video footage, but using the large memory in a smart phone, you can store it. Which means that all the photos I take, or even the ones I download form another camera, are always with me. Pictures of my family and friends and fascinating videos of shoplifters. I can access them anywhere and at anytime. Exactly like carrying a photo album inside your pocket.
Music and Video:
With a smartphone youve always got your favourite tune to hand. And so theres never a dull moment. I keep a copy of each tune I have ever liked on my iphone. From Steps Gold to The Saturdays. Over 2000 tracks. Rock and Roll. Or in some cases case, cheesy pop. But it gets even better. If youre a genuine luddite and you dont read books, it is possible to even watch feature films on them.
The Internet:
The greatest invention since fire and access to it from your phone. Could you have imagined this in 1998? I hardly need to wax lyrical in regards to the virtues of the internet, but getting access to it from anywhere, at any time, well its a lot more than the civilization deserves. And never again is there an outrageous statistic or fact uttered in the comfort of the local pub that cannot be instantly verified. From football statistics to physics, the oracle is inside your pocket.
Calenders, alarms and organisers:
It goes without saying, you can use your smartphone to organise your life. It is killed off PDAs and alarm clocks. And you never will want to possess a pen and notebook if youve got a smartphone. And that can only be a great thing.
Applications or Apps:
Third-party applications. A genius invention which has driven the achievement of the iphone in particular. From business applications to entertainment and everything in between. Ranging in cost from your free to the preposterous price and in usefulness from the inane to the essential. There are actually now more 300,000 of them.
Telephone calls:
Yes, even having a myriad of functions and capabilities, the smartphone can still make and receive telephone calls. Thus the smartphone is the best invention of the 21st Century so far. If you have not got one, go and buy one today. It is going to change your life. And if you do not have the funds for one, sell something. Your spare TV, your old phone or your desktop. You could possibly even try shoplifting on Regent Street. Just keep away from the handbag shop near Hamleys...
