Can anyone give me simple explanations to what the following are:


1. 2.5G and 3G cell phones - Dont know what the G stands for.

2. Ad-hoc

3. Bluetooth

 

[TxArmyGuy]

my guess it would be Gig meaning harddrive space on the phone

probably so you can download all the cool games and ringers that are popular today

i think its to do wth the network....3G, they will use a modify the existing network. i dont think its the h-drive space on the phone

Ad-hoc..........random, spontaneous, off the bat etc

bluetooth......i think its a commercial name for either a connection or tyoe of connection, or a company. i'd go with commercial name for connecton

1.
The gigahertz, abbreviated GHz, is a unit of alternating current or electromagnetic wave frequency equal to one thousand million hertz (1,000,000,000 Hz). The gigahertz is used as an indicator of the frequency of ultra-high-frequency.


2. Ad-hoc...on the fly.
