Smartphone

A smartphone is a cell phone that allows you to do more than just make phone calls and send text messages. Smartphones can browse the Internet and run basic software programs like a computer and the user often interacts with the smartphone by using their finger on the touch screen. There are thousands of smartphone apps (software programs), including games, personal use programs, and business use programs that can all be ran from the phone.

 Like a computer, a smartphone has an operating system on it, like Windows or Mac OS. The four most common are iOS (created by Apple), Android (created by Google), Blackberry (created by Research In Motion), and Windows Phone (created by Microsoft).
