I Love Smartphone

One question for you guys: What phone did u use? Most of you will answer iPhone. And some others will answer Android or Blackberry. Second question: do your phone has a special integrated social media system connecting to your phone? Will definitely yes. Third question: Is u always use social media platform in your phone? Mostly also yes. The reason is because people these days are using their phone as a tool to access their social media. Is there a relation between the development of social media with the development of mobile phones? If we look back ten years ago, when mobile phone was just a phone and the function was limited. I remembered, my phones ten years ago was Nokia 8250. The only function was SMS, games, blue light background and of course, phone. Here are the picture of Nokia 8250.



















Fast forward to 5 more years, my phone changed into Sony Ericsson W800. At that time, it was the most advance phones that I had. It got features like camera, music, video, internet (limited), SMS, MMS and again, phone. But we can't resist how fast technologies are going. Right now, my phones is BlackBerry Bold 9700. The functions? It has lots lots of function. Browsing, Music player, Instant Messaging, Map, and the social media integrated system (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc). When we see how fast the development of both mobile phones and social media, we become realised that they are built with to cover each other. For example, nowadays, we see many mobile social network platform like Facebook for iPhone, Facebook for BlackBerry or Twitter for Android. It's like that social media began to realise the importance of integrating themselves into mobile phones because mobile phones has developed into a new level and they can be a perfect vessel to integrate the social media. People are began to communicate with their phones rather than laptop due of the efficiency and practical. Moreover, phones now has begin to shifting their function into social media access function like HTC to help the user to access their social media account. Rapid development of social media turned the development of phones into social media related instead of other kinds of entertainment like gaming (Nokia N-Gage), mobile TV, etc. This is the fact that Social Media turned our life. I as a smartphone user, like social media integrated features in it because it help me to communicate with other people. How about you guys?

  1. Most of the Sm use is through third party apps and it depends on how these apps are designed for particular phones. for instance, some Sm apps don't gove you notifications unless you change the settings. My BB (which will hopefully soon be in my black bin) seem to give intermittent FB notifications whereas some other apps such as email is instant. The app design plays a huge role in how the phone functions. Andriod phones for instance have much better integration with apps from google such as G+.

  3. I love the complete SM integration on Android... my contact list updates with photos from Facebook, Twitter updates feed automagically into other apps, and I'm always alerted to updates on all platforms. And to think it was only a few short years ago I was impressed with my Nokia 3310 because you could play the snake game on it!
