Mobile phone technology has come a long way since the first mobile phone call was made 40 years ago today, changing life forever- but there is a lot more innovation to look forward to, according to one expert.

It was back on April 3 1973 that Motorola employee Martin Cooper made a call in New York on a Motorola DynaTAC - widely regarded globally as the first public cellphone call.

Something of a brick - you would be probably better off mugging someone with it than for it - the first mobile phone was used by Cooper to phone a rival at AT&T's Bell Labs on 3 April 1973.

We can imagine the response that got, but expect that the call was rather short anyway, particularly as the phone had terrible battery life, weighed 2lb and Cooper was probably sick of holding it up to his head. Mobile phones hit the UK in the mid 1980s, but were expensive and still rather large.

There was a time siri was one of top Android features. It was the feature which created a unique selling point for Apple iPhone 4S. But, it's now has become nearly worthless especially with a number of top Android features designed and available too.

A report tells the brief history of this wonderful feature that we would like share with you. It all started with siri the Android flagship for all the Verizon devices. But, suddenly Apple came in and began to ask for complete sell of siri to them, it only took a single concise chat between CEO of Apple and the siri's developer to get the deal done. But, in all this developer failed recognize how precious this feature is for Android devices, this is what allowed Apple to enter into the Smartphone market and maximized its revenues. We would like here to add that siri was powered by Google and the difference between both Apple and Google in the Smartphone market is probably due to this one decision

Except for luxury-phone owners, most people probably do not have the hobby of collecting used phones. It's common to sell the old phones or give them to friends or families. And before doing that, we usually need to transfer the phone data and deleting files from the old phone.

Transferring the contact list is easy if both of the phones run the same OS. Android phones use Google account and Phone users have iCloud. Even just copying all the contacts to SIM card works quite well for most phones. However, the problem comes when you want more than just contact lists, and when you switch between iPhone and android phones.

To delete files many people may just restoring the factory settings. If it is really so simple there will be no event called sex-photo scandal (sometimes it's a comedy if you read the story of Orange Bro). What you need is permanently erasing the phone preventing any private content from being leaked.

If you are still searching over the internet for tutorials or guides, you may look at Wondershare MobileTrans It is a one-stop solution to both problems. And it's really fast and simple compared to some built-in programs such as Samsung Kies (I used Kies once and it's a nightmare).

 

How it works:

- Installing and running Wondershare MobileTrans
- Connecting two mobile devices to your Windows or Mac PC.

You could select the content that you wish to transfer before clicking to start the process.

- Click "Start" and wait until the process ends.

You can download the free trial version and test it by yourself. Remember to erase the old phone with MobileTrans after the transferring process ends.
