Compare and Contrast

Over the years, people have created many electronic handheld devices. Two of the most common handheld devices are the cellphone and the MP3. These two devices are very similar in appearance and abilities but are also different. In his article, I will go over the similarities and the differences of the two devices.

The cellphone and the MP3 have very similar appearances. Cellphones have started losing their flip-up feature and now most of them use touch screen or buttons. MP3s have the very similar appearances except for the small ones. Both devices are pocket-sized but fragile so usually they need cases. The cellphone and the MP3 also have similar features.

However, there are also differences between the two. The MP3 will usually have a bigger memory for music and videos but on the other hand, the cellphone has speakers to ring but you need headphones to listen to MP3s. Cellphones have text messaging but MP3s are usually smaller than cellphones. Cellphones have plans and you must pay monthly but you just pay once for an MP3.

In conclusion, the main difference of the two devices is the purpose. The cellphone was made so you could talk and message to other people who are not close to you. The MP3 was made to entertain you with music and video. Although these two devices are similar, the purpose will keep these two devices from merging together.
