Smartphones and the internet

The manner in which mobile phones connect to the internet is always changing as new and better types of internet connection are being invented every day. The internet connection speeds on most of the phones today is very fast. A few decades ago, nobody could have imagined that such speeds could be achieved. One fine example of mobile phones that showcase these amazing internet connection speeds is the 4G phones. The term 4G phones simply refer to the type of internet connection that is found on these phones. They connect to the internet using the 4G network. The 4G is the latest internet connection that is available to mobile phones and other handheld devices. It is essentially an improvement on the 3G network, which had for a long time been considered as the ultimate in internet connection. The 3G in turn took over from the 2G as the best internet connection type. The 2G has become obsolete and there are very few, if any, mobile phones being manufactured today that utilize the technology. All of these changes and advancements have been made within the span of a single decade and this fact alone testifies to the fast rate at which the face of mobile communication technology is changing.

One very noticeable change that has been witnessed in the recent past is the birth of the new Android phones. These phones are popularly referred to as Droids. These are special phones that run on the Android platform developed as freeware by Google. The Android platform is basically an interactive and dynamic operating system that was developed to increase the efficiency of mobile phones and smartphones. Because the operating system is considered freeware and can be used by any mobile phone manufacturing company, there are already many Android phones from different manufacturers that are crowding the market. The most interesting feature that these phones have is the interactive nature of their operating system. The operating system allows the users of the phone to write software applications that are compatible with the phone. In addition, users are able to download many applications from the thousands of different applications that have been developed for these phones. Most of the Android phones are also 4G phones, meaning that the internet experience that is found on these phones is also a class above the rest. These phones are effectively replacing the more recognizable smartphone models as the world market leaders.
