  2. Table of Contents • What Is Mobile Computing? • Devices & Operating Systems • Mobile Phones • Facebook & Microsoft • Process Before/Without MC • Process With MC • Limitations • MC In The Market • Video • Citations

  3. What Is Mobile Computing? • Human–computer interaction • Mobile communication • Half of current mobile phone users have smartphones • Increased capabilities & value by bringing personal computers to phones • Mobile hardware • Mobile devices • Device components • Mobile software (“apps”)

  4. Technologyreview.com “How do you make money with this rapidly expanding technology?” Main question in MIT Technology Review March Business Report

  5. Devices & Operating Systems • Mobile phones • iPads • Notebooks • Laptops • Digital cameras • MP3 players • GPS • Palm Pilots/PDA • Anything with internet access

  6. Mobile Phones • 2007: average mobile phone wholesale price = $120 & falling • Nearly everyone who could afford one had one • Since: prices raised 50% • 2x more mobile handset revenue • Apps & services = least $ • Mobile advertising earnings = $9 billion • Smartphones outsell PCs • Touchscreens outnumber keyboards

  7. Some Facebook Facts • January: Facebook reported more mobile access than PC • Ranked #1 app • “23% of the time that Americans spend on mobile apps is devoted to Facebook” (Technologyreview.com)

  8. Some Microsoft Facts • Negligible in mobile computing • 2009: on 90% of personal computers • End of 2012: on 23% of devices sold • Smartphones, tablets, PCs all accounted for

  9. Mobile Computing In The Market • Spreading fast • Wireless carriers: • 900 carriers generate $1.3 trillion in revenue each year • 4 times combined revenue of Google, Apple, Microsoft, Intel

  10. Process Before/Without Mobile Computing • Service call placed • Inventory loaded on truck • Paperwork order ticket • Work order/delivery complete • Customer signs order ticket • Paperwork back for data entry • Customer doesn’t know job status Limitations: • Manual, labor intensive • Lost paperwork • Lost time
