The iPhone Has Competition

For many people, especially those in the business industry and top executives or political leaders, cell phones have become a very important item in their lives. Many can go for a limited amount of time without access to their cell phone and top contacts. Cellular phones have obviously come a long ways in recent decades and are accomplishing more every year as time goes on. The top phones around today allow you to virtually do anything, more thanks to the Blackberry and iPhone that happen to be in the midst of the technology advancements these days. These phones allow you to place calls, send messages, check email, find restaurants, and even figure out where you parked your car. With all of this competition, Sprint has released a new phone called the Palm Pre. This phone is the answer to all the iPhones and Blackberries out there.

The Palm Pre has a magnitude of capabilities and should have over one hundred different applications within its first year on the market. The applications will assist those working in medical, business, and many other fields requiring constant up-to-date information. Many of these phones allow you to download music onto the phone making it an mp3 player as well. People are becoming more and more reliant on these phones capabilities and demanding that they be more useful in their daily routines as they get more accustomed to them.

I am a huge fan of most of the recently released cell phones and their current abilities. It is a problem of how reliant society has become on them but at the same time it makes life more efficient in the ways of business and receiving urgent information when you need it. I do believe that as these top cell phone companies manufacture and produce more phones, the technology involved within these phones will be extraordinary. The ideas stemmed from such devices could eventually save many lives and help do everyday tasks. Cell phones will soon be the new personal computers and society’s best friend, if they aren’t already.
