Smartphones For Students

I used to think that smartphones were a luxury but since I treated myself to one of the latest mobile devices, I am beginning to think differently. Smartphones for students are also becoming a necessity. Yes, they do check their e-mail and chat with their friends on FaceBook but a recent study showed that students who owned smart phones actually study more. Many of them admitted that they study coursework while standing in line, in bed and in the bathroom! Smartphones also save time-no more having to set up a lap top, or worse, spending time visiting a library to find information.

With over half a million apps available students can locate the information they seek right from their desk (or the bathroom!). Young people and students love their smartphones, and with nearly all of these devices you can easily read eBooks - far more convenient than dragging around a bag full of heavy books.

Course books for college and university students are ridiculously expensive. If you have last year's version you're always told to get this year's version, although often little of the information has changed. Hopefully e- publishing will do away with this expensive nonsense - books will be updated online and thousands of trees can breathe a sigh of relief!

The cost for an up-to-date smartphone can be high for many families and internet access will cost every month, but the convenience far outweighs those costs. Many students who can afford to update to the latest device on a regular basis should also think about how they are going to dispose of their present smartphone.

Advertising it on a college bulletin board for sale will probably see them quickly sold - the best kind of recycling. Otherwise used smartphones can be traded in for a new phone, and there are many companies online who buy used phones. The better condition you can keep your phone in the more money you'll get for it.

So if you're a student and you find you have downtime during the day, perhaps standing in line or possibly watching a live sports event, a smartphone can offer the opportunity to study even though you're doing something else. There is also a rumor that Microsoft is working on a mobile version of MS Office for the iPad, and when that materializes students will be able to work on their class assignments just about anywhere.
