All About the Smart Features of Smartphones

A smartphone is basically a cellphone with some of the basic features of a computer or personal digital assistance. With the help of this gadget you can make phone calls, send and receive emails and edit office documents. Some find it as a small PC that enables phone calls, others call it a phone that runs operating systems and provides standardized interface. Overall, the device is a complete mobile phone with advanced features of accessing internet and emails.
<br>
<br>There are many people who spend a hefty amount on a smartphone, but use the device as any other cell phones (only for simple voice communication) as they fail to explore the device and its features. Spending some time to learn the features of this new generation phone can definitely help you discover innumerable benefits from the device.
<br>
<br>Software:
<br>
<br>Any basic mobile phone is operated with the help of software that helps them include an address book, allow searches through the address or perform any other operation depending on the model. The software in a smartphone has advanced features that allow you create and edit new MS Office documents and download applications such as personal and business finance manager.
<br>
<br>The software also increases the functionality of the device by allowing you to get driving directions through GPS receivers, edit photos, and create a play list of digital music. Basically, the phones are based on operating systems that aid to run productive applications. While Blackberry phones are featured with specific blackberry OS, others have Windows Mobile or Palm OS.
<br>
<br>Managing calls:
<br>
<br>The Smartphone is still a basic cell phone despite all the digital gadgetry. The user can manage multiple conferences and concurrent calls on the cell phone with the help of user interface. Apart from changing the ringing and ring tones based on callers or groups, the cell phone allows you to record the calls to digital files and save them to your PC.
<br>
<br>Access to internet:
<br>
<br>Thanks to the Wi-Fi (wireless network) support to the handset and the 3G data networks, the Smartphone users can access the internet at higher speed. You can use the device to browse your favorite websites, and receive and send emails. The phone can automatically reformat the HTML pages for display on small screen. Additionally, the device can also access Web 2.0 content.
<br>
<br>Advance GPS features:
<br>
<br>The Smartphone users can obtain current location by connecting to portable GPS receiver or integrating a GPS receiver to the device. You can get driving directions, point of interest in the locality, or search businesses by using the gadget. The Bluetooth technology in some phones enables you detect people around you.
<br>
<br>QWERTY keyboard:
<br>
<br>For cellphone users who have got bored of pressing `1` to type `a, b and c`, there is good news. Now, with your Smartphone, you can get a keyboard like the one that you use with your computer where the keys are not in alphabetical order. You can use a physical keyboard to type on or a touch screen like an iPhone which is operated by software.
<br>
<br>Multimedia features:
<br>
<br>Smartphones are also featured with built-in digital camera and a sound recorder. Apart from taking still pictures, you can also record video clips. The features also allow you to share MMSes and SMSes to other smart phones or email addresses. With the help of additional software you can also share blog content and photos from websites.
<br>
<br>These are the few features of the Smartphone that really make the device a functional one. With the continuous changing technology, we can look forward to a more superior and high-end Smartphone in a couple of years.

Enjoy the Benefits of Quality Strawberry Recipes

<p>It's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy good strawberry recipes. Making them taste so good must be mother nature's way of letting us know we should be eating them. If you've ever tried a strict and clean diet, you know any leeway you can get on eating a tasty snack, you will take. Strawberries are just the choice for that.</p><p>Packed with phenols and phytonutrients, these little guys bring many health benefits along with their great taste. They are also high in vitamin C, maganese, and fiber. Strawberries have been found to protect the heart, fight cancer, and help with inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of strawberry lessen the activity of an enzyme whose overactivty has been shown to contribute to unwanted inflammation. Strawberries also contain antioxidants which has shown to protect cell structure and prevent oxygen damage to the body's organs.</p><p>As a child, I know my parent's told me to eat my carrots to keep my eyes strong bright. Research published in the <em>Archives of Ophthalmology </em>showed eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk ofage-related macular degeneration, the primary cause of vision loss in old adults. This was compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.</p><p>If you're going to be eating strawberries, they should only be purchased a few days prior to use. Choose berries that are firm, plump, free of mold, and which have a shiny, deep red color and attached green caps. When you pick strawberries, they do not ripen further. Avoid those that are dull in color or have green or yellow patches since they are likely to be sour and poor quality. Medium-sized strawberries are more flavorful than those that are larger. When finding strawberry recipes look at what is added to the fruit. You don't want to ruin the healthy part of the dish.</p><p>Here is a tasty dish from EatingWell.com you can try next time you're feeling like using some strawberries:</p><p>Green Salad with Strawberries & Goat Cheese

Copywriting - The Secret of Anticipation

<p>By nature, humans are curious creatures. If something intrigues us, we want to find out all the details - to satisfy our curiosity.</p><p>Positive anticipation plays a crucial role in this. But, what is it and how can it help you write better sales copy? '<em>Anticipation</em>' is when you expect something good to happen. It's the payoff, the benefit, the perk!</p><p>Of course, the outcome might be different to your initial expectation. Nonetheless, you invest in something believing you'll get a return on it.</p><p>This article explores key elements of sales copy such as benefits, headlines and slogans, focusing on how to create a sense of anticipation.</p><p><strong>Features and benefits</strong></p><p>To end the confusion:
<br><ul>
<li>A feature is a descriptive fact about a service or product.</li>
<li>A benefit is what someone gains - or avoids losing - as a result of the feature.</li>
</ul></p><p>Think about this for a moment. When you choose a holiday, you have a tick list in mind, don't you? 'Features' your holiday destination must have. Whether your list includes a nearby beach, family facilities or shops, each feature satisfies a personal need.</p><p>You might want a nearby beach, for example, so you don't have far to travel. In your mind, a short stroll to the sea equates to less stress, total relaxation and minimal effort. These are the anticipated benefits. Other people might yearn for the hills, away from buzzing beach-life, for the same reasons.</p><p>The key point is: once you <em>intrigue</em> the reader with a benefit, your copy is more likely to be read. At the same time, you need to make those benefits explicit, so it's clear what the payoff will be.</p><p><strong>Curiosity doesn't kill the copycat</strong></p><p>Good copy entices readers - and then takes them on an emotional journey. Let's explore this further using travel copy as an example.</p><p>Travel copy needs to tempt readers, by first helping them to visualise a place and second, encouraging an emotional response from them.</p><p><em>'Experience the magic for yourself ... unlock Greece's best-kept secret. Framed by the warm Aegean Sea, with pine-clad mountains sweeping down to spotless sandy beaches, Thassos is every sun-worshippers dream. Explore further and you'll discover...'</em></p><p>Emotive phrases such as <em>'The magic'</em> or <em>'Sun-worshippers dream'</em> seduce the reader into wanting a slice of this 'perfect life.' It's all about the unconscious mind, tapping into deep needs and desires.</p><p>Copy, therefore, creates a mindset - persuades readers that the product or service is the solution to their problem. Because an answer to a problem is a positive, the human brain is more likely to be stimulated by benefits.</p><p>And as customers care about 'what's in it for them,' they'll look to satisfy their emotional needs first. The perceived gain such as success, efficiency or stress-reduction, is what customers really buy into.</p><p><strong>Headlines are the main attraction</strong></p><p>Words which lure readers into the copy, often contain promises. Consider headlines for a moment. To attract readers, a headline has to command attention. Since the headline has much of the selling power, it has to be appealing and satisfy customers' needs.</p><p>Successful headlines create anticipation, often giving the impression you'll access important information if you read on. All of these examples do exactly this:
<br><ul>
<li>Revolutionise your marketing strategies</li>
<li>How to find your perfect partner</li>
<li>Save 30% on energy bills by making the switch</li>
<li>Discover how to double your sales</li>
<li>The secret to successful marketing revealed</li>
</ul></p><p>A headline with an irresistible offer is enough to hook any reader.</p><p><strong>Seductive slogans sell</strong></p><p>Slogans capture a brand's image or key selling proposition. Look at these well-known examples:
<br><ol>
<li>'The taste of paradise' (Bounty)</li>
<li>'The ultimate driving machine' (BMW)</li>
</ol></p><p>Why were they so successful? When you unpick memorable slogans, you'll see common features.</p><p>Bounty's slogan, for example, taps into the audience's desire for exotic flavours and locations, as well as their need for comfort. The word '<em>paradise</em>' also makes the reader think of palm trees, the Indian Ocean and sunshine. It's an image of perfection.</p><p>While the slogan plays on the desire for escapism and exclusivity, it also elicits a warm, fuzzy feeling.</p><p>Even though the audience know they won't literally be transported to 'paradise' when they eat the chocolate bar, the slogan creates a positive image, as well as a sense of anticipation. Job done!</p><p>So, the trick is to anticipate your readers' needs, allowing you to connect with them on an emotional level ... and then to create anticipation so you lead readers through your copy to a positive outcome: the product.</p><p>Nikki Cooke is founder of The Word Well, a freelance copywriting service based in Oxfordshire.

When to Plant Flowers Outdoors

When you are planning out your planting calendar for your outdoor flower garden, there are several things that you need to keep in mind. Two of the main factors are what type of plant you are planting and what type of climate that you live in, as these will both be very important factors in your planting schedule. Another thing to factor in is the current weather as every year can be different. If you have early spring plants, you may have to hold off on planting them until you are sure that the last frost is gone if it's a particularly cold year. The best time to start your flower garden varies depending on the type of plant as well.
<br>
<br>Annuals
<br>
<br>Annual plants are those that need to be planted again every year. These are more delicate plants and you need to make sure that they are planted after the last spring frost, otherwise there is a very good chance that they will freeze with the next cold snap. There are a couple of exceptions which include violas and pansies. These are sold as cold weather annuals and can last through harsher weather conditions.
<br>
<br>Bare Root Perennials
<br>
<br>Perennials are sold either as bare root plants or container grown. If you have purchased a dormant bare root plant, as soon as you can work the ground, you can plant it. This is when the soil is no longer frozen but not wet and muddy either. Dormant bare root plants need to wake up slowly with the season and this is the perfect way to do this. If you have to store the plant before planting it, you want to keep it in a cool, dark place, but only for a couple of days. Get it in the ground as soon as possible and keep it out of warm areas or else the root may start to grow before you have a chance to transplant.
<br>
<br>Container Grown Perennial Plants
<br>
<br>If the container grown perennial has been grown outdoors, you can transplant it as soon as you purchase it, assuming that the ground is workable. Those which have been grown in a greenhouse, however, need time to adapt to the outdoor conditions. These can be hardened by setting the pot out in the sun each morning and keeping it in a more protected area during the remainder of the day and night. Make sure that it also has protection from the wind and the frost if it has leafed out. Keep it watered enough so that the soil is as moist as a wrung out sponge. After leaving it in these conditions for a week, you can transplant the flowers into your garden.
<br>
<br>If you are in doubt about when to plant flowers outdoors, talk to your local nursery. Workers there will know all about proper planting times or will have the means to find out. The tags that come with most flowers will also give you a good idea of when they should be placed in the ground.
<br>
