74_350.html ) is a high-end mobile phone that offers more

advanced computing ability and connectivity than a

contemporary feature phone (i.e. a modern low-end phone). A

smart phone combines the functions of a personal digital

assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone. Today's models typically

also serve as portable media players and camera phones with

high-resolution touchscreen, GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and mobile

broadband access, which run a complete mobile operating

system. Widespread examples are Apple iOS, Google Android,

Microsoft Windows Phone 7, Nokia Symbian, Research in

Motion BlackBerry OS, and embedded Linux distributions such

as Maemo. Such systems can be installed on many different

phone models. They can run third-party applications, using an

application programming interface (API).
