The use of multimedia is becoming more diverse. The multimedia capabilities of mobile phone will continue to evolve. Currently mobile phones have been viewed as diverse functions that will take over many traditional electronic devices such as camera, music player, game boy, etc. The iPhone4s and Android are examples of top multimedia phones. Focusing on the iPhone, it is integrated with iTunes which lets you download content such as podcasts directly to the device. The You Tube application allows you to watch videos online by streaming them on to the iPhone. The iPhone is classified as a " multimedia smartphone" manufactured by Apple Inc. The smartphone can function as a camera, visual voice mail, media player, and text messaging. It could be used to access our email accounts and web browsers. Navigation through the iPhone, just like the iPad can be enhanced through multi-touch screen. Applications such as social networking sites, games, GPS navigation , etc can be installed in the phone. Multimedia combines all the elements such as text , video, sound, graphics and animation into a powerful tool – in this case, specifically the iPhone to enhance creativity, entertainment and learning environment.
Smart phones have become more sophisticated due to their operating systems, various programs and utility. Operating system is a platform in the phone which the user could add any application and program. The user could set in applications like games, multimedia application, and e-books. The current iPhone 4s has the world's largest collection of mobile applications, twitter integration, etc.
From board games , now cell phones have a wide variety of games. iPhone for instance has also been gaining popularity for games such as Angry Birds and the recent most popular game on iPhone and Android- 'Draw Something'.
'Draw Something' is very addictive and I can say this for a fact that this is true as I have started playing this game and I have become so addicted to it. The game is something like Pictionary. One can even register within the game through Facebook or Twitter.
The following video explains how the game works.
The game is interactive, it brings friends together and it would be a great way for students to work on their artistic skills. Imagine an art assignment to draw 10 things on Draw Something and then bring in screen shots to show what you drew.

Mobile phones as we know is very effective, however their small screen size limits the ability to share visual images. Apple Inc has evolved and has improved their forms of multimedia from iPod, iPhone and to iPad.
