If you were to look back at movies from the early 1990s, every once in a while you can catch a glimpse of one of the characters using a cell phone. The device is about the size of a home phone, maybe bigger, and is weighed down by a huge battery. The gargantuan size of the cell phone is usually meant to poke fun at the character in question, who's probably a pompous, wealthy executive sporting sunglasses and driving a convertible.
Now, of course, the cell phones you see in movies and in advertisements are painted in a much sleeker, hipper light -- they're several times smaller and slimmer, designed to slip into your pocket easily, and flip or glide open with the slightest gesture. Cell phones aren't just cell phones anymore. Now so-called smartphones combine extra features such as camera and video, MP3 players, Internet browsing and e-mail and GPS navigation, making them all the more useful and attractive to buyers.
