A modern telephone is no longer just a means of communication with friends and family. Now you won't surprise anyone with the built-in mp3-player and camera. A modern phone is almost a computer, it has a processor and an operating system, with its help you can organize and plan your entire working day, watch high-quality video, or even get from one point of the city to another using GPS navigation.
