I am not sure a smartphone will improve your lifestyle. The only major benefit I derive that I can only get from a smartphone is paying for parking without using the parking meter.
Other than that I could get by with a flip phone and an ipad.
Oh, it will for me.
Satnav = help me get to places, I'm a big fan of walking, but there's a huge amount of places I don't know how to get to.
Picture notes = I lend alot of stuff, and often forget my notepad where I write this stuff down, also after an amount of time has passed, I forgot what I lent or if it's being returned. This is useful to me as I carry a phone with me all the time.
Games = For commuting.
Films = For my sometimes 3 hour car journeys, I get so bored normally, so hopefully these will help me bare travelling.
Social networking.
Cam scan = scanning documents with just the camera. So useful for me to make copies on the go.
Train and bus time schedule updates = london tubes are a mess, so it's often hard to plan in advance, iphone app for this is great.
Books = This is for reference purposes, saves space and money.
Wordlens = For translating purposes, using camera, sadly no japanese yet, otherwise it'd be number one useful app for me.
Also some maybe good apps but not sure yet.
Tile = Puts a tracking tile on objects, like keys or bag and locates where they are.
Barcode reader = For price comparison.
Object measure = An app using it's camera to give me measurements of items.
These are just some of the functions I know that will make my life better and more easy.
Let alone just having internet on the go and being able to look up things.
Can get them on an ipad, sure, but it's a bit less mobile and the people I know still call people who use them knobs, so it isn't socially acceptable enough yet.
lol
