  • Through a roll-up strategy, NuMobile plans to acquire and develop mobile computing solutions for a variety of applications, including mobile banking, for the global marketplace. The demand for mobile security and software applications is being driven in large part by the growing number of mobile phone sales into emerging economies that currently do not have substantial access to the Internet via desktop computing.

    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.

  • 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.

      this article brings up the downside of too much technology that could/will/is invading our privacy. It also mentions freedom of choice or customization. Most of the time when I thought of customization I thought of changing the color of something to My favorite color or re-writing something, or choosing how a teacher taught me to fit my learning style, etc... but this article brings up a valid point that collides new technology with privacy with customization. We are consumers and contributers to society should be able to choose what information we want shared with the world via facebook, twitter, Google Maps, etc. If augmented reality is going in a direction where it over lays our flickr photos onto the real world (Bing Maps) and allows us to view someones live video feed from the phone (Bing Maps) then we should chose whether we want that information shared or not....etc...

    Data that is innocuous or is it? Excellent article from the New York Times on Privacy. "In a class project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that received some attention last year, Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree analyzed more than 4,000 Facebook profiles of students, including links to friends who said they were gay. The pair was able to predict, with 78 percent accuracy, whether a profile belonged to a gay male. So far, this type of powerful data mining, which relies on sophisticated statistical correlations, is mostly in the realm of university researchers, not identity thieves and marketers. But the F.T.C. is worried that rules to protect privacy have not kept up with technology. The agency is convening on Wednesday the third of three workshops on the issue. "

  • 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.

    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.

  • Google will simply stop developing new Android versions as fast as it has over the last year
  • Google is supposedly shifting development away from Android's core to focus on applications and also plans to put more separation between those applications and the core operating system. That means that new applications that arrive along with new operating-system releases could also be downloaded for older phones through the Android Market without having to pass through the handset maker or carrier's approval process.
  • Google is in much better competitive shape with the 2.1 release and can start prioritizing developer stability over core features.

    This is an article about how Google is going to slow down making new versions of the Android and start making the features of the current version better.
