Abstraction : you'll never buy a "device", but always buy something more specific : iPhone, GSII, Nokia 3310... Here, iPhone, GSII and N3310 are concrete things, device is abstract.

Abstraction is a concept, which is allowed by encapsulation. My example wasn't the best one (there's no real link between the two blocks).

You can do encapsulation without using abstraction, but if you wanna use some abstraction in your projects, you'll need encapsulation.
