Excerpt: The smartphone is quickly becoming an electronic Swiss Army knife.
Already used to surf the Web, check e-mail and get turn-by-turn directions, smartphones will soon acquire many more features and functions. At the Consumer Electronics Show, which ended Sunday, tech companies demonstrated how devices such as Apple's iPhone could be used to monitor blood pressure, serve as the brains and display for car radios and even replace a traditional laptop or desktop computer.
