Question

a(n) __ is a combination mobile phone and handheld computer.

• smartphone
• tablet
• ultraportable computer
• cloud computer

Explanation:

A smartphone is defined as a device that combines the functionality of a mobile phone (for calls, messaging, etc.) and a handheld computer (with capabilities like running apps, internet browsing, and other computing tasks). A tablet is more of a standalone handheld computer without typical mobile phone call capabilities (though some can make calls, it's not their primary or defining combination as a phone - computer hybrid in the same way). An ultraportable computer is a small laptop - like device, not a combination of a mobile phone and handheld computer. A cloud computer refers to a computing model using remote servers, not a device combining a mobile phone and handheld computer.

Answer:

A. smartphone
