News: A third of all phones "smart" in five years

In an article on windowsfordevices.com, a report on the growing smartphone market is discussed. The article said in part:

"The market for smartphones will grow from around 10 percent of total handset sales in 2007 to 31 percent in 2013, a new study says. Hailing the "growing stature" of Windows Mobile, ABI Research adds that future phones will boast such luxuries as touchpads, tilt/shock sensors, and tactile feedback."

The outlook for the future of smartphones remains bright, as the effects of the iPhone continue to filter down through the cell phone market.

Tip: T9 keypads: Entering punctuation, symbols, and numbers quickly

Cell phone users are familiar with T9 numeric keypads, which assign 3 or 4 letters to each key and allow you to enter letters by holding down a number key until the letter appears. You can also use a T9 keypad to enter punctuation marks, symbols, and numbers. Here’s how you do it:
  • Press the "1" key to enter some of the more common punctuation marks and symbols. For example, press it once to enter a period, twice for a question mark, three times for an exclamation mark, etc. (These may vary depending on the device.)
  • Press and hold the "#" key to get a full list of symbols. (Note that this may not work on all smartphones.)
  • To enter a number, press and hold down the appropriate number key until the number appears. This is much quicker than selecting it from a list or pressing the key repeatedly to cycling through characters.

Article: Technology Toolbox

When I think about mobile technology, a handheld device is only a part of the solution. The unit may or may not have a touch screen, and may or may not have wireless capabilities. There is no "perfect" device, as every user and application has unique requirements, and depending on the specific technologies that your particular solution requires, the best tools to meet your needs might be a very interesting combination.
