  2. Intro [Eugene] • Smart Phones are defined to be enhanced mobile phones that perform functionalities other than the typical phone. • These enhanced features can be anything from email and internet to a full keyboard. • The definition of “smart “ keeps changing as more and more new functions are introduced to mobile phones.
