Tip: Get app-happy at library app seminar

Smartphones are more than just mobile telephones. They are actually computers that can fit in your pocket and do an array of complex tasks. Just like a desktop or laptop computer, they are powered by software applications, or apps, as they are known in the smartphone world. With more than 500,000 of these programs available, Apple's iPhone catchphrase "There's an app for that" is more than a slogan, it is close to reality.

If you're thinking of getting a smartphone or want to get more out of the one you own, SeniorNet is sponsoring a free seminar where many leading apps will be demonstrated. The seminar is Tuesday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Harborfields Public Library in Greenlawn. For more information, call 631-427-3700, ext. 268.
