    A smartphone is any phone with a full HTML internet browser and e-mail capabilities. ie They're the same thing, except an Android phone runs "Googles Android OS" and other smartphone run different OS or software... Other smartphones would run Symbian (Nokia N95, N97), webOS (Palm Pre), iOS (iPhone/iPod Touch), Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC HD2)/7 (HTC HD7)

    No but yeah kinda? Explaining it would take a while I am thinking.

    Ask a better question. Shockingly you can only have android apps on android phones. Did you mean android apps, or do you have no idea?

    Yes, but each app must be developed for each particular platform. If you are considering buying a smartphone to use particular apps, you should research which apps are available on a particular platform. Nowadays, there will be an app for almost everything on all the platforms, but Android and iOS seem to have the vast majority of developers pumping out apps.
