microSDHC
SD now comprises several families of cards: the original, Standard-Capacity (SDSC) card, a High-Capacity (SDHC) card family, an eXtended-Capacity (SDXC) card family, and the SDIO family with input/output functions rather than just data storage.
SD also comprises three different form factors: the original size,
the "mini" size, and the "micro" size (see illustration). Electrically
passive adaptors allow the use of a smaller card in a host device built
to hold a larger card. There are many combinations of form factors and
device families.
Host devices that comply with newer versions of the specification provide backward compatibility and accept older SD cards, but older host devices do not recognize newer cards. The SDA uses several trademarked logos to enforce compliance with its specifications and assure users of compatibility. This article explains several factors that can prevent the use of a newer SD card:
- A newer card may offer greater capacity than the host device can handle
- A newer card may use a file system the host device cannot navigate
- Use of an SDIO card requires the host device be designed for the input/output functions the card provides
- The organization of the card was changed starting with the SDHC family
- Some vendors produced SDSC cards above 1 GB before the SDA had standardized a method of doing so.
touchscreen
The touchscreen has two main attributes. First, it enables one to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than indirectly with a pointer controlled by a mouse or touchpad. Secondly, it lets one do so without requiring any intermediate device that would need to be held in the hand. Such displays can be attached to computers, or to networks as terminals. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as the personal digital assistant (PDA), satellite navigation devices, mobile phones, and video games.

digital camera
Digital cameras can do things film cameras cannot: displaying images
on a screen immediately after they are recorded, storing thousands of
images on a single small memory device, and deleting images to free
storage space. The majority, including most compact cameras, can record
moving video with sound as well as still photographs. Some can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing. Some have a GPS receiver built in, and can produce Geotagged photographs.
The optical system works the same as in film cameras, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm
to focus light onto an image pickup device. The diaphragm and shutter
admit the correct amount of light to the imager, just as with film but
the image pickup device is electronic rather than chemical. Most
digicams, apart from camera phones and a few specialized types, have a
standard tripod screw.
Digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. The Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical devices are essentially specialized digital cameras.

megapixel
A megapixel (MP or Mpx) is one million pixels, and is a term used not
only for the number of pixels in an image, but to express the number of
image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays.
For example, a camera with an array of 2048 × 1536 sensor elements is
commonly said to have "3.1 megapixels" (2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728).
Digital cameras use photosensitive electronics, either charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors,
consisting of a large number of single sensor elements, each of which
records a measured intensity level. In most digital cameras, the sensor
array is covered with a patterned color filter mosaic having red, green,
and blue regions in the Bayer filter
arrangement, so that each sensor element can record the intensity of a
single primary color of light. The camera interpolates the color
information of neighboring sensor elements, through a process called demosaicing,
to create the final image. These sensor elements are often called
"pixels", even though they only record 1 channel (only red, or green, or
blue) of the final color image. Thus, two of the three color channels
for each sensor must be interpolated and a so-called N-megapixel
camera that produces an N-megapixel image provides only one-third of the
information that an image of the same size could get from a scanner.
Thus, certain color contrasts may look fuzzier than others, depending on
the allocation of the primary colors (green has twice as many elements
as red or blue in the Bayer arrangement).

Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, smartphone, tablet or games
console, can connect to the Internet when within range of a hotspot.
Hotspot coverage can comprise an area as small as a single room with
wireless-opaque walls or as large as many square miles covered by
overlapping access points. "Wi-Fi" is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the brand name for products using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. Wi-Fi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" designation and trademark.

Verizon Wireless
Motorola Droid | Monday, December 12, 2011
Cellco Partnership Inc., doing business as Verizon Wireless, is one of the largest mobile network operators in the United States. The network has 107.7 million subscribers as of 2011, making it the largest wireless service provider in America.
Headquartered in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, the company is a joint venture of U.S. telecommunications firm Verizon Communications and UK multinational mobile network operator Vodafone, with 55 and 45 percent ownership respectively. On January 9, 2009, Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel Wireless in a deal valued at $28.1 billion. The acquisition expanded Verizon's wireless network.
