That the mobile phone is much more than simply a mobile phone should be obvious to everyone, even when he does not own one. However, that one does not own a mobile phone is rather unlikely since there are already more cellular extensions than residents.

Accounting for the difference are here especially the multimedia applications, which are installed on mobile phones. Games and programs stand here in the limelight, and with every new mobile generation those become more complex. Just talking about the development of games in the recent years, the development was enormous. The first games, on the small displays of those times, had not been more than some moving pixels, which could be moved by the user. Also the tasks had been easy to solve, but still they had been a nice amusement.

The development of the application on the cell phone

Nowadays, it has changed radically. By now, the high-end models are equipped with large TFT or LCD displays, which can have up to 16 million colors and therefore offer crisp pictures. Due to the improved processing power of the cell phones, more complex games can be programmed, stored and finally played. All this new features together add up to the new generation of mobile games, which are already in 3D and which have quite often a lot of depth.

Also other applications benefit from the technical improvements of the cell phones. By now, the latest generation of mobile phones is offering office application, comparable to those found on computers. A notable advancement to the programs installed on the early mobiles. Those were mostly not more than a simple calculator and a stop watch. Even the program of the calculator was improved. It offers not just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division anymore, but also trigonometric-, root- and exponential functions are integral parts of it. Hence, one can on one’s way execute complex calculations, without having any additional devices with one.

This fact is without any doubt the big advantage of the modern mobile phones. The variety and complexity of cell phones and their programs replace a lot of devices that people normally carry with them. The owner of a phone doesn’t need to carry a phone or a mp3 player with him anymore, because both features are already integrated on a variety of mobile phone models.
