The Smartphone in the GADGET Era

A gadget is any clever device or something complicated. Gadgets can be called gizmos, appliances or simple devices that are useful in some way. Some examples of gizmos are watches, calculators, cameras and televisions. These gadgets usually do not belong to the category of weapons or tools. They are more likely to belong to the category of medical, art or beauty accessories.

There are several different categories of the gadget as identified by the hi-tech market prospects. The devices have evolved over time and are now separated into numerous sub-categories. The sub-categories are digital electronic, software, electrical and hybrid devices.

Digital electronic gadgets generally belong to the category of electronic devices and are usually electronic in nature. Gadgets like digital cameras, digital scanners, printers, faxes, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal digital video recorders (PVR) and wireless communication gadgets are part of this electronic category. Software applications are also a major part of this electronic category. There are many applications such as gaming consoles, cars, microwave ovens, cars alarms and personal digital assistants that make the smart phones smarter. Hybrid gadgets combine the attributes of the above two categories.

One such example of a very smart phone is the BlackBerry, which has the ability to play MP3 files and has an operating system based on the BlackBerry platform. It has high processing power and runs a wide variety of software applications. The gaming capabilities of the BlackBerry have made it very popular in the hi-tech market. As far as the BlackBerry is concerned, it is based on the BlackBerry platform and hence cannot be considered as a gaming gadget.

Cars are another type of gadgets that come under the automobile category of devices. Cars are considered as one of the most important modes of transport. This is because one of the most important functions of a car is that of transportation. You can easily hire a car and travel from one place to the other. However, if you have a device like BlackBerry, which has ample processing power and is compatible with the various mobile phones that run on the BlackBerry platform, then you can easily hire a car and travel around on your own. The BlackBerry can be used as a personal mobility device or a communication device in the sense that you can chat with people while driving the car.

Gaming and application development is also a very important aspect of GADGET as these two aspects are very important for device functionality and application growth. GADGET deals with hardware, memory, software and battery life. Since the smart phones in the market have a large memory, they need high functioning GADGET to ensure that they do not face any issues or a performance issue. In other words, the device needs to be fully functional and its GADGET will ensure this functionality.
