MOBILE COMPUTING
A REVOLUTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
INTRODUCTION
Mobile Computing is a technology that enables users to data,
voice, and video through any wireless enabled device without
being tied to a fixed physical connection. It allows computing
on the move by combining hardware, software, and wireless
communication technologies.
Examples : Smartphones, laptops, tablets, PDAs, and
wearable devices.
