• A smartphone is a cellular telephone
with an integrated computer and
other features not originally

software applications. Smartphones
are used by consumers and as part of
a person's business or work.

could be properly referred to as a
smartphone began as a prototype called
"Angler" developed by Canova in 1992 while
at IBM and demonstrated in November of

owning their own cell phone.

smartphones. And the majority of the
world's population currently owns one.
