A mobile application software or mobile app is an application software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Most such devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music or other media or more apps.

Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones.

Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car.

In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century.

One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
