In the beginning, cell / mobile phones could make and receive telephone calls, and then they could send and receive text messages, but now - well they allow you to use a whole host of other services such as email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming, and photography.
In 1973, Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola demonstrated the first hand-held mobile phone, using a handset that weighed 2 1/2 lbs (about 1 kg). In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000X was the first to be commercially available. In the twenty years from 1990 to 2010, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to more than 4.6 billion, penetrating economies all over the world.
