The evolution of mobile phones

It is hard today to imagine living in a world with no mobile phones. Almost everyone has at least one mobile phone (smart phone) or even two, whether your 5 years old or a fortune 500 CEO. Intoruced in the early 1980's, the DynaTAC 8000X was the first mobile phone made avaliable for the public by Motorola. The size of a brick and weighing in more than 2 pounds, the retail price for the phone was $3,900! (adjusted for inflation, that's around $8,800!). As techonology advanced, so did the mobile industry and more features are being introduced into mobile phones that were avaliabe in the last decade. The following link is a very wonderful link showing a timeline of the mobile phone and what it has been modifed today.
