Apples new upcoming smart phone

Introduce someone to a smartphone (or tablet, for that matter) for the first time, and you'll quickly realize how much you've taken for granted. From swiping to unlock and tapping to answer calls, here are the basics you'll have to show your smartphone newbie.

I recently gave my 70-year-old mother-in-law a smartphone for her birthday. It's the first smartphone she's ever had, and her first experience with any kind of computer. While it felt wonderful to bring someone into the modern, mobile computing world, I also feared having to field "How do I…?" questions every day for the rest of my life. 

Questions like: How do I make a phone call? Where did that call go? And what do all these beeping noises mean?If you find yourself in a situation like this, don't worry. You can teach your smartphone student the basics he or she will use probably 90% of the time and offer the tools to learn more advanced tricks at their own pace.

Today’s smartphones are powerful tools that go far beyond simply placing phone calls. It’s like carrying an entire PC and entertainment system in your pocket. But, in order to take advantage of the features and capabilities, you have to know they exist, and how to navigate to them, and make them work.

Many things are intuitively self-explanatory. However, many are not -- especially for technology-challenged people like your parents who still have a VCR flashing “12:00” because they can’t figure out how to set the clock, or your cousin that still thinks his flat-panel display is the “computer” and the big box it’s connected to is the “hard drive”, or the elderly couple who didn’t realize they were recording themselves with their webcam.

If you bought a smartphone for someone like this, expect to get some calls with questions like, “What’s an app?”, or “Why does my battery run out before lunch?”, or “How do I upload this video clip to the Facebook?”Verizon is offering help this holiday season with free Wireless Workshops for Android and the Apple iOS platform. The classes are available to everyone -- Verizon customer or not.

Trained experts lead the Verizon Wireless Workshops, and demonstrate common tasks like sending a text message, watching a video clip on YouTube, or surfing the Web.

 The Wireless Workshops also cover fundamentals like configuring the security options, adjusting the brightness of the display, and setting the device up to work with a wireless network.Contact your local Verizon store to learn more, and to find out what the schedule is so you can arrange to attend one of the free workshops. You can probably learn a thing or two to find your way around an iPad or Android tablet, too.

Android-Update:

Many users ignore the message that a system update has become available. But the updates do not just serve your security. They also resolve critical errors, increasing battery life, allowing apps to run stably, and improve management of memory.

The updates come automatically without your intervention. Regularly, your smart-phone asks the manufacturer or provider if there is something new. And then you will be notified. You can then choose the update immediately or later. The procedure is safe and runs without data loss. Your battery should be 80% full.

If there are no updates for your device, take a look in the Custom-ROM section.

History of smart phone:

1. IBM Simon Personal Communicator

For some experts, the Simon Personal Communicator from IBM from August 1994 is the first smartphone. Although the Simon was the first device that combined phone and PDA features in one housing. However, it was not possible with the Simon to surf the web - for many, the decisive criterion for a smartphone. However, the functionality of calendar and memo functions, address book, cards, exchange rates, messages and the sending and receiving of e-mails and faxes were considerable for the time. The device was sold from 16 August 1994 onwards. It weighed 510 grams. After about six months and approximately 50,000 sold copies, IBM took it off the market again.

2. Nokia 9000 Communicator

Almost two days later, on August 15, 1996, Nokia launched the Nokia 9000 Communicator on the market. The device is regarded as the forefather of the smartphones, because in addition to the usual office applications, users were thus able to access mobile websites with an HTML-enabled browser for the first time. Nokia used the DOS-based operating system GEOS. When the user turned on the device, a gray scale screen with 640x200 pixels and a QWERTY keyboard appeared. The weight was about 400 grams. The Communicator series was continued up to the E7 model, which was released in 2010.

3. Siemens SX 45

Four years later, Microsoft also entered the smartphone market with the Pocket PC 2000 operating system. Actually, the operating system was designed for pure pocket computers. It contained a telephone function, which some device manufacturers used.

The SX 45 from Siemens with Pocket PC 2000 came on the market in 2001. It was equipped with a color display. However, telephone calls only worked with headsets. The operation was done by pen. Since February 2002, the SX 45 has been delivered with GPRS. The weight was 302 grams.

4. Nokia 9210 Communicator

Nokia's 9210 Communicator, built in 2001, marked a caesura. With the transition of the processor architecture from x86 to ARM, both the success story of the British process designer ARM and the rise of the operating system Symbian began.

The successor, the 9210i, came already mid-2002 on the market. Spectacular was the color screen for the time. Nokia also replaced its own browser through the Symbian version of Opera.

5. Samsung SPH-i300

In 2001, the later smartphone market leader Samsung launched its SPH-i300 on the market. The device with color screen ran with the operating system Palm OS.

Later Samsung experimented with Windows: The SPH-i700 from 2003 ran first with Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition, later it was delivered with Windows Mobile 2003. Samsung was later successful with smartphones, which were equipped with Google's Android operating system.

6. HTC XDA

In 2002, Microsoft released Pocket PC 2002, an update of its operating system, designed for keyboard less Pocket PCs. The operation was done by pen or finger. The mobile radio provider O2 introduced a model named XDA of the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC in 2002. It was among the few devices that were equipped with color display and GPRS.

7. Blackberry 5810
The Canadian manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) was already established in the market for digital assistants before the era of smartphones with its handheld devices. The first Blackberry was the 850, which came on the market 1999, but had no telephone function. Three years later followed the Blackberry 5810th With this 139 gram heavy device fell the starting shot for the success of the Blackberry brand. Base was the own developed Blackberry OS. RIM, which renamed itself in 2013 in Blackberry, focused the focus mainly on business customers. An important sales argument was the encrypted e-mail communication, which only ran on company-owned servers.

8. Treo 180

With the Treo 180g, another PDA manufacturer ventured into the smartphone market at the beginning of 2002. Until then, the organizers with pen operated by the company Handspring were very popular among fans of digital assistants. The operating system Palm-OS of the Taschenpomputer pioneer Palm was used.

The device came in two versions in the trade. At 180g, users had to use Palm-PC's own graffiti font. The model 180 also had a keyboard. The devices weighed 140 and 147 grams respectively. The display showed 16 grades.

The last device from Handspring was the Treo 600 in 2003. Treo merged with PalmOne in October 2004, the hardware branch of Palm 2002.

9. Nokia 7650 Nokia

introduced the 7650 with the 7650 one of the first smartphones with integrated digital camera on the market. The device used the operating system Symbian OS and weighed 154 grams. The camera triggered with 640x480 pixels and represented 16 million colors. When the memory was empty, about 100 photos could be made in VGA quality, also short video sequences were possible. The memory of 3.6 megabytes (MB) - for the time was considerable - could not be extended.
10. Danger Hiptop

 The Danger Hiptop was marketed as a T-Mobile sidekick in Germany from 2002 onwards. The smartphone had a delay mechanism and ran with a proprietary Java-based operating system, the Danger OS. What was special about the device was the cloud service, which saved all personal data like addresses, calendars, photos and settings on the net. In 2009 there was a failure in a Microsoft data center. As a result, T-Mobile USA's Hiptop customers were unable to access their data for almost a week. It was initially feared that the users lost their contact data and pictures. One month later, however, most of the data were recovered.
