T latest GSM phones are already quadband, giving users extended coverage on 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz GSM bands across five different continents. Many also incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology for headset and SIM card synchronization functions. They will soon acquire Wi-Fi connections to take advantage of voice-over-IP (VoIP) connections, and receive digital terrestrial telev...

Mobile communication have become an important part of telecommunications. Original applications like paging, mobile phones or GPS have shown a tremendous growth, and new applications are emerging every day: tagging, wireless computer links, wireless microphones, remote control, wireless multimedia links, satellite mobile phones, wireless internet. Mobile means light, small, with low energy cons...

Mobile phone radiation and health concerns have been raised, especially following the enormous increase in the use of wireless mobile telephony throughout the world (as of August 2005, there were more than 2 billion users worldwide). This is because mobile phones use electromagnetic waves in the microwave range. These concerns have induced a large body of research (both epidemiological and expe...

Advances in wireless technologies such as 802.11 have allowed students to communicate ubiquitously on our campuses and made it possible for them to exchange information through mobile devices such as cell-phones, tablets and laptops. In this paper, we explore the premise of Google Android phones as educational tools for undergraduate students in our educational institution, and creation of effe...

With the current growth of the wireless devices (especially cell phones) and digital games markets, several manufactures started providing some infra-structure for the development of games for their products. With the creation of a myriad of technologies, developers realized the need of some sort of multi-platform architecture that could help game development across devices and technologies. Co...

Continuous sensing applications (e.g., mobile social networking applications) are appearing on new sensor-enabled mobile phones such as the Apple iPhone, Nokia and Android phones. These applications present significant challenges to the phone’s operations given the phone’s limited computational and energy resources and the need for applications to share real-time continuous sensed data with bac...

Data services via wireless networks and mobile devices have experienced rapid growth worldwide. We investigated the factors influencing adoption of wireless mobile data services (WMDS) in China and tested our model for explaining adoption intentions there. We argued that individuals form their intention to adopt WMDS under the influence of wireless mobile technology, the social environment, per...

Bluetooth is a new wireless standard for low cost, low power, local radio communications. This technology is designed to be small enough to fit inside any electronic device, hence revolutionizing wireless connectivity by enabling many new and innovative services for its users. Several usage models and applications are already being identified for various Bluetooth wireless mobile devices such a...

On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a trend in database technology, based on the multidimensional view of data. Numerous applications and development environments exist, offering OLAP analysis to developers, analysts and end users. Further more, mobile devices find their way into almost all aspects of every day life, ranging from cellular phones with advanced capabilities (smart phones) for...
