Abstract
Mobile phones,1 smartphones, and tablet computers (tablet PC) have increasingly become everyday tools for adults and especially for students. Their impact on our daily lives is rapidly increasing. Besides the well-known negative effects of these devices (e.g., writing text messages in class), the increasing use and technical development of, for example, a Samsung smartphone or an iPhone can enrich lessons, too. Smartphones in particular are suitable experimental tools because they are usually equipped with a number of sensors. For example, most of the smartphones involve a microphone as well as acceleration sensors and field strength sensors, a light intensity sensor, a GPS receiver, and a camera. As all the sensors can be read out by appropriate software (apps), a large number of quantitative experiments in physics classroom can be conducted with smartphones.
