;;;;;;; In a nutshell, a Smartphone is a device that lets you make telephone calls, but also adds in features that, in the past, you would have found only on a personal digital assistant or a computer--such as the ability to send and receive E-mail and edit Office documents, for example.; 简而言之，智能手机是这样的一个设备，它能让您拨打电话，并且还增加了其他一些以前你只会在个人数字助理器或计算机里发现的功能，例如发送和接收E-mail、编辑Office文档。; But, to really understand what a Smartphone is (and is not), we should start with a history lesson.
