•In the photos, you see several computer chips. Let's talk about what some of the individual chips do. •The analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion chips translate the outgoing audio signal from analog to digital and the incoming signal from digital back to analog. •The digital signal processor (DSP) is a highly customized processor designed to perform signal-manipulation calculations at high speed Front of circuit board

The microprocessor handles all of the housekeeping chores for the keyboard and display, deals with command and control signaling with the base station and also coordinates the rest of the functions on the board. The radio frequency (RF) and power section handles power management and recharging, and also deals with the hundreds of FM channels. Finally, the RF amplifiers handle signals traveling to and from the antenna.
The ROM and Flash memory chips provide storage for the phone's operating system and customizable features, such as the phone directory.
Some phones store certain information, such as the SID and MIN codes, in internal Flash memory, while others use external cards that are similar to Smart Media cards.
The display has grown considerably in size as the number of features in cell phones have increased. Most current phones offer built-in phone directories, calculators and games. And many of the phones incorporate some type of PDA or Web browser.
Cell phones have such tiny speakers and microphones that it is incredible how well most of them reproduce sound. As you can see in the picture above, the speaker is about the size of a dime and the microphone is no larger than the watch battery beside it. Speaking of the watch battery, this is used by the cell phone's internal clock chip.
What is amazing is that all of that functionality which only 30 years ago
would have filled an entire floor of an office building now fits into a package that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand!

3G
3G technology is the latest in mobile communications. 3G stands for "third generation" this makes analog cellular technology generation one and digital/PCS
generation two. 3G technology is intended for the true multimedia cell phone typically called smart phones and features increased bandwidth and transfer rates to accommodate Web-based applications and phone-based audio and video files.
3G comprises several cellular access technologies. The three most common ones as of 2005 are: CDMA2000 - based on 2G Code Division Multiple Access (see Cellular
Access Technologies) WCDMA (UMTS) - Wideband Code Division Multiple Access TD-SCDMA - Time-division Synchronous Code-division Multiple Access
3G
3G networks have potential transfer speeds of up to 3 Mbps (about 15 seconds to download a 3-minute MP3 song). For comparison, the fastest 2G phones can achieve up to 144Kbps (about 8 minutes to download a 3-minute song). 3G's high data rates are ideal for downloading information from the Internet and sending and receiving large, multimedia files. 3G phones are like mini-laptops and can accommodate broadband applications like video conferencing, receiving streaming video from the Web, sending and receiving faxes and instantly downloading email messages with attachments. Of course, none of this would be possible without those soaring towers that carry cell-phone signals from phone to phone.

Mobile TV
Widespread mobile television has been a long time coming. TV-enabled cell phones have been available in Korea since 2002. In that first incarnation, the TV signals were transmitted over a standard cellular network, meaning per-minute watching fees and unbelievable phone bills. In 2003, Samsung and Vodafone introduced phones in Korea and Japan that received local analog TV broadcasts for free. But the video was choppy, and it drained the phone battery.
Mobile TV The
real "mobile TV revolution" is only beginning as telecom companies release high-quality,
DTV-enabled phones simultaneously rush to build the broadcast networks to deliver the corresponding content.
The basics behind mobile TV
The basic idea of the TV phone is pretty simple: It's a cell phone that acts as a TV receiver. If you've
read How Television Works, you know that TV signals are just radio signals. Cell phones pick up radio signals all the time ○ it's what they do. In the case of TV phones ○ they have the ability to receive radio signals in the TV-
allocated frequency bands in addition to the bands allocated for cell-phone voice data.
For instance, a TV phone in the United States might
tune in to the 2110-to-2170-MHz band for a conversation and the 54-to-60-MHz band to pick up TV channel 2.

extra equipment do you need to locate BlueJacking
What is Blue jacking
There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate the Bluetooth wireless communication system as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 meters. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone. So, personalized messages like 'I like your pink top' and the startled expressions that result is where the fun really starts.

The future
4G handset Data transfer of 10 megabits per second ○ While moving
1 gigabit per second ○ when stationary
This would allow users who are not on the move
to download a movie in less than six seconds or 100 songs in less than three. This kind of instant access, according to mobile operators, will provide the instant appeal that 3G, with nowhere near that kind of pulling power, lacks.
