Smartphones are getting smarter and users are always
finding new ways to boost how they use their gadgets. Here are some ways that
you probably didn’t think of.
Mailing
a Postcard:
Sure emailing and texting is fun when you want to
connect with loves ones while on vacation, but did you know that you can also
send them a postcard. Certain apps let you take a photo and turn it into a
postcard complete with borders, text and a whole lot of other editing. You can
then mail this post card using your Budget Android Smartphone to as many people
as you want. Receivers can even print out this postcard and stick in on the
fridge door or use it as wallpapers on their PC, phones and laptops.
Remote
Car Starter:
Standard remote meant for starting up your car can
work up to a limited number of distances. Smartphone apps enable you to start
your car no matter which part of the globe you may be in, all you need is the
app itself and a working internet connection. So if you want your car prepared,
when you are three metro stops away from your vehicle, use the app and your car
will be ready.
Heart
Rate Measure:
In order to read your pulse, you would have to hold
two fingers on your neck and calculate your pulse rate using your watch. No one
wear watches anymore and math calculations are left to our Smartphone
calculators. Smartphone apps do this in a matter of seconds; all you have to do
is to either touch your Smartphone display or camera in order to determine your
heart or pulse rate.
Personal
Identifier:
Quite often we forget the name of a new device,
products and even street names. Download the right app and you will never
forget anything ever. Simply take a photo of the object and then let the app
match this photo with those on the web. You don’t even have to type in
anything, so this app works great if certain product text is in a different
language. You can find product alternatives, online and offline stores and more
based on a single photo.
Keyboard
& Mouse:
There are apps that let you turn your Affordable
Smartphone into a mouse that you can use to control your laptop and PC. The
app activates the accelerometer in your phone and you simply have to wave your
phone over your screen in order to move the mouse pointer. In some cases, you
can use the screen of your phone as a kind of mouse pad. Then there are those
apps that utilize a similar pattern where you can use your android keyboard to
type texts on to a word document.
Karaoke
Machine:
You have probably already figured this out, but your Smartphone
can be a pretty nifty little karaoke machine. Apps turn your phone into this
machine and come with loads of favourite tunes preinstalled or you can access a
library of them online. If your screen is too small, then you can hook up your Smartphone
to your TV so that an even bigger number of people can sing along with you!
Paying
for your Coffee:
If getting a coffee everyday on the way to work is
something that you do often, then you can use your phone to pay for your
coffee. Depending on your location, there are certain apps that let you pay for
your coffee while you are waiting in line for it. This is perfect for those who
are on an early morning rush or have forgotten their wallets!
Storing
Business Cards:
Business cards look outdated and it is annoying to
carry loads of them where ever you go. Quite often people lose business cards
of important clients and even their own!! Many apps and social networking sites
let you digitize your business cards or create one from scratch. You only have
to carry around one digital copy with you on your phone that you can share
using Bluetooth, WiFi and accept incoming ones as well.
Snore
Recorder:
Now you can record your snores using apps. The app
works on the standby mode and can adjust to change in you snore patterns. IT
starts recording once it hears a noise and can adjust to sensitivities so that
you won’t end up with along recording with nothing on it.
