Smartphone slideshow.

The following exert is from Jesse's smartphone powerpoint that he created for his one of his college classes. Enjoy!

Simon says the smartphone wave is upon us! It has been nearly 17 years since IBM released Simon, the world's first smartphone. We haven't looked back since then. Simon's touchscreen and applications suite (calender, address book, email, games, etc.) resemble today's models, only on a smaller scale. Smartphone users today enjoy an endless array of features, such as GPS, voice command, and multi-tasking, and choose from an even greater playground of approximately 128,000 applications (...and counting). The smartphone market has taken a mighty leap in just the past few years. Across the globe, less than 8 million units were sold in 2003, as opposed to a nearly 80% increase in that number in 2008. Smartphones are owned by roughly 15% of the American population and these devices have been mainstays in the lives of their users - users that are waiting for everyone else to jump onboard!
