Smart Phone (Case Study)
Smart Phone (Case Study)
Additional Terms--
1G , 2G , 3G , 4G
• 1G--
1G is short for first-generation
wireless telephone technology. This
generation of phones and networks is
represented by the brick-sized
analog phones introduced in the
1980’s. Subsequent numbers refer to
newer and upcoming technology.
1G , 2G , 3G , 4G
• 2G---
2G phones use digital networks. Going
all-digital allowed for the
introduction of digital data services,
such as SMS and email. 2G networks
and their digital nature also made it
more difficult to eavesdrop on mobile
phone calls.
1G , 2G , 3G , 4G
• 3G---
3G networks are an in between standard.
3G is seen more as pre4G instead of a
standard of its own. The advantage 3G
networks have over 2G networks is speed.
3G networks are built to handle the needs
of today’s wireless users. This standard of
wireless networks increases the speed of
internet browsing, picture and video
messaging, and handheld GPS use.
1G , 2G , 3G , 4G
• 4G----
4G (AKA Beyond 3G) is like the other
generations in that its advantage lies in
promised increased speeds in data transmission.
There is currently no formal definition for 4G,
but there are objectives. One of these
objectives is for 4G to become a fully IP-
based system, much like modern computer
networks. The supposed speeds for 4G will be
between 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s.

“kill” switch
• A kill switch is a mechanism used
• to shut down or disable machinery
or a device or program
• Software programs sometimes
include encoded kill switches as
anti-piracy mechanisms. After
installing the software, if a user
fails to enter a valid registration
key before a specified deadline
passes, the software will either
stop functioning or continue to
function but with reduced
capabilities. Microsoft Vista, for
example, was designed to operate in
"reduced function mode" if the user
didn't register the software within
30 days.
Kill switch
• The kill switch as a "safety lever" or
"malware apparatus" used for
"removing stuff from devices once it
gets out of the perticular market or
org[ say Android Market], once it
escapes."
PDA[ personal digital assistance]
• PDAs and smartphones have some similar
features and one major difference. A
smartphone has a cellular component -- it
can be used to make and receive phone calls
-- and a PDA cannot. What PDAs can do is
organize information. A typical PDA allows
you to keep track of your calendar and to-do
list, it enables you to work on documents, it
can be synced with a personal computer or
laptop and it can even include Web access or
access to specific email programs. Some
PDAs can also store and play music and take
voice memos.
• PDAs are often cheaper than a smartphone
over the life of the device.
PDA
• Smartphones are set up to allow full Web
browsing and social networking. Just like
PDAs, they can help you organize your life
with contact information, calendars, to-do
lists and productivity software.
Smartphones include a host of multimedia
options for storing and listening to music,
watching movies and television shows, and
taking and sharing photos and video.
Another significant difference between
PDAs and smartphones is application
support. With a smartphone, you can
download a wide variety of applications for
free or a small fee.
Multi touch
• Multi-touch is a method of input on a
touchscreen that allows two or more
fingers to be used on the screen at
one time. Apple's iPhone is famous
for introducing multi-touch to the
cell phone world by using it to allow
pinching and stretching gestures on
the screen to control zooming.
Infra-red
• Infrared is an energy similar to
visible light, but with a longer
wavelength.
• The light we see with our eyes is
really a very small portion of what is
called the "Electromagnetic
Spectrum." The Electromagnetic
Spectrum includes all types of
radiation - from the X-rays used at
hospitals, to radio waves used for
communication, and even the
microwaves you cook food with.
Infra-red
• PowerPoint presentations and the like
are a bit easier to control remotely
because, presumably, they are being
viewed through a laptop. But the
benefit is considerable. No longer
tethered to your laptop, you can
move around the room while still
holding in your hand an image of
what’s on the screen behind you.
Infra red
• Infrared light is even used to heat
food sometimes - special lamps that
emit thermal infrared waves are
often used in fast food restaurants!
• Shorter, near infrared waves are
not hot at all - in fact you cannot
even feel them. These shorter
wavelengths are the ones used by
your TV's remote control.
Jail break
• The iPhone, iPod touch & iPad hack that allow
users to gain access to the entire Unix
filesystem. In Unix terms, this refers to
changing the root of the directory tree to .
