Mobile Phones
• Basic phones are entry-level phones with
limited functions
• Feature phone and smartphones are the
real competitors in the market today.
– Hard to differentiate a feature phone and a
smart phone as both the phones have
goodies and drawbacks that are common
between them.
Mobile Phones
• A growing majority of people prefer the feature
phone for its simplicity and easy-to-use
interface.
• On the other hand smartphones are believed to
be more complex and have features or
applications that common people may not need
or use in their daily lives.
• Looking forward to enter into 2011
– Feature phones are becoming more powerful
– Smartphones are trying to be more customer friendly.
Feature Phone in the beginning
• most common clamshell,
• slider forms with physical keyboards
• Controlled by MNOs walled gardens
• Controlled Internet (WAP) access
• Offnet was expensive
Feature Phone
• Intermediate phones between the smart
phones and the basic phones
– They have a limited OS support
– Limited third-party application support (may
be only Java applications) as well.
– Some feature phones support email
– A lot of documents may not be used
– May also give access to social networking
abilities.
Feature Phone as Today
• Smarter with its office works
• Ability to run third-party OS and third-party
applications
• Working on emails is a pleasure (push email)
• A smart phone is designed for business purpose
and hence calendar synchronizing appointments
and other things are more effective.
• Manufacturers: Apple, Android and Blackberry
• Increased capabilities: Storage, processor,
sensors,…

Which one to choose?
Lack of difference between them
• For a user, with little or no interest in internet or
business-related features but is a multimedia
freak, the feature phone is supposed to be the
right choice.
• Smartphones are “complicated” and are only for
those who indulge in business-on-the-move, the
real factor is that using them (smartphone) is not
a challenge by any means. And to add to it,
modern smart phones have strong multimedia
capabilities too.
Smartphone vs Feature Phone
Price Factor
• The real difference between a smartphone and a feature
phone is not clear, thanks to the massive changes
mobile phones have undergone these days.
• A smartphone might eat up your money-saving, with its
monthly subscription for data usage plans, this trend or
factor is changing too. For, data subscription in a feature
phone, also costs you the same.
• It would be smart from a buyer's point of view to
purchase a mobile phone, only concentrating on its
features, that would best suit his style interest and
needs, instead of analysing or hunting for a smart phone
or a feature phone.

PCWORLD Nov 2009 – Apple fanboys dream
“Let's face it: the Apple tablet is a mirage created
by legions of fanboys and tech dreamers. The
closer you get to that mirage, the more you
realize it's not going to be there when you
arrive. But then, off in the distance, an even
brighter and more beautiful tablet is envisioned
for a day that will never come. It's a nice
dream, but it's just not going to happen.”

2010 Microsoft Tablet?
• Microsoft Courier itself was a wonderful two-
screened device that was to rethink the way that
tablet computing is usually enacted, with a single
slate-style screen. With two screens, the Courier
was hoping to change the paradigm for touch
computers.
• Microsoft has been pushing touch screen
(tablet) computing for years to little effect in
terms of market adoption. Whatever the future of
touch computing at Microsoft, this is no longer
part of it.
