By 2005, Nokia started launching its Nseries of 3G Smartphones, which were not named cell phones or Smartphones, but "multimedia computers", even even though in effect, they were essentially Smartphones.


In 2008, Android, a new platform for intelligent phones, appeared. This was the initial Smartphone to feature the use of applications, or "apps". Apple's App Retailer is capable of delivering third-party applications to a user's iPhone or iPod touchpad by way of wi-fi or cellular networks without having making use of a Pc to download. The App Store has become a big sensation. In truth, as of March 2010, it has offered 170,000 applications and had created 3 billion downloads as of January 2010.
