Definition of smartphoneYou probably hear the term "smartphone"
tossed around a lot. But if you've ever wondered exactly what a
smartphone is, well, you're not alone. How is a smartphone
different than a cell phone and what makes it so smart?In a
nutshell, a smartphone is a device that lets you make telephone
calls, but also adds in features that, in the past, you would have
found only on a personal digital assistant or a computer--such as
the ability to send and receive e-mail and edit Office documents,
for example.

Comparison between Accor & Starwood ( mariott) hotel groupIn
terms of comparison we can say that they are quite similar , their
mobile features are really on the same way,( keyless check-in,
online check-in and check-out, cashless payment) they try to focus
on the time for their customers, to always stay in touch, to inform
them about news. On one hand Acoor hotel group is a little bit less
modern in term of mobile innovation that starwood, starwwod has a
lot of new features, starwood was indeependant and now they are
part of the mariott group, also accor and starwood have both
fidelity programs ( spg for starwood) but Starwood was the first to
innovate on this point.
