  • As the need to word process and save documents, create spreadsheets, write term papers, complete coursework, play games, send emails etc has emerged, and to carry out a host of other online activities such as shopping (EBay & Amazon leading the way), social networking, online studies, research, dating, online chat, gambling, stock market trading, visit news portals, auction web sites etc, we rely even more on mobile computing to assist us in carrying out these daily activities
  • Working from home or being able to take your work home and finish it off has clearly been made possible with the advent and increased reliance on mobile computing.
  • the temptation is (especially at these times of economic recession) to invest in one device that allows you to make your phone calls and still access the Internet on the move.

  • mobile computing devices become even cheaper and available with disk space storage ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to several terabytes, additional external disk storage devices, very impressive memory module sizes, processor power/speed etc, the obvious question that comes to mind is: are we witnessing the demise of desktop computers?
  • Desktop computers are bulky, take up more space, and as already explained, now compete with mobile computing devices in terms of processing power, disk storage, memory and cost. In most work environments, the need to take work home is certainly more of a norm than the exception in the ever competitive corporate environment.
  • The desktop computer is evolving to become the multimedia host at home and an entertainment centre.

  • the tablet often called an oversized iPhone is being looked at as a legitimate alternative to notebooks for road warriors. Enterprise Mobile Today has the report.
  • users expect the next generation of mobile devices to be a twofer as well -- something they can use for leisure activities as well as work.
  • Even though it's far from the first computer tablet, the iPad's friendly user interface and variety of applications (available via its iPhone-like App Store model) is expected to perk up what's been a relatively sleepy market for tablets that so far have mainly been sold for niche applications like order delivery.
  • virginia vereen on 30 Mar 10
     
    The Ipad is a great example of mobile computing because it is pretty much a mega sized version of the Iphone. The Iphone revolutionized mobile computing, and now the Ipad is even better. With about 35% of mobile users with smart phones, the internet is in high demand on the go. Cell phones usually have small and faded screens, vs the Ipad which has a huge screen and great graphics.

    Virgin Blue has launched a revolutionary, innovative new process to check in and board on domestic flights via a traveller's mobile called "Check-Mate". Gone are the days of booking the flight in advance at a desktop computer, getting to the airport, lining up to check-in and getting a printed boarding pass, with the new Check-Mate process eliminating all paper boarding passes in favour of electronic boarding passes on mobile devices including mobile phones, BlackBerry Smartphones and iPhones.

    NuMobile is a system that is being set up in Nairobi, Kenya. Its intentions are to run a wireless broadband network so local businesses can become more successful. If this project runs correctly, there is talk to set up one through out East Africa. NuMobile also plans to develop mobile computing because of the high number of people with cell phones, and also the difficulty of reaching rural areas with the broadband.

  • Forget the netbook. It’s a slow, clunky piece of junk.
  • Ten years from now, we will look back at the tablet and see it as an end point, not a beginning. The tablet may turn out to be the final stage of an extraordinary era of textual innovation, powered by 30 years of exponential increases in computation, connection, and portability.

  • Think of them as windows that you carry
  • Brian Eno once famously said (in the pages of Wired) that the problem with computers was that there was not enough Africa in them. By this he meant that computers as we knew them could “see” only the wiggling ends of our fingers as we typed. But if they could see and employ the rest of our body, as if we were dancing or singing, we could express ourselves with greater finesse.
  • It overthrows the tyranny of the keyboard.

  • One of the biggest buzz words in technology at the moment is the idea of Augmented Reality or AR as it's become known to its friends. Smartphone users will know it through apps like Google Goggles or Street View on the G1, both of which involve waving your phone out in front of you and looking at the world on your 3-inch LCD display along with a few computerised annotations.
  • Without meaning any disrespect to Total Immersion and what they've done, they're essentially using AR as a marketing gimmick and none of it is particularly useful to the consumer sitting at home in front of their machine.
  • Of course, the other bonus of our new and improved pocket computers, rather than just their mobility and connectivity, is that they have more than just cameras to get a measure of their surroundings. There are microphones that can detect wind or sound, accelerometers for movement, digital compasses to tell which direction we're facing and proximity sensors as well. Now we're in a place where we can really experiment with AR on a personal level and explore our worlds in a whole new way.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The same is true in the class room. How much more informative and inspirational would be 3D graphic images or footage of the human body and its internal organs, muscles, bones and tissues in action on your device, rather than just flat and still on the page of a text book?
  • In fact, as futurologist and mobile service specialist, Tim Haysom of the Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) points out, the car has probably the most powerful potential AR devices out there at the moment.
  • Once such devices are in place, then the possibilities start to become mind-blowing. Within five years there's no reason why we shouldn't be out there jogging in our Nike Sport glasses, which bring up information on our heart rates, pulled in from sensors against our temples, and running times in front of our eyes as well as even adding a visual warning for pollen information if that's important too.
