SmartPhone
Smart Phones are defined to be enhanced mobile phones that perform functionalities other than the typical phone.
These enhanced features can be anything from email and internet to a full keyboard. The definition of smart keeps changing as more and more new functions are introduced to mobile phones.
They have senses (sight, hearing, touch) that laptops never had

Societal Impact
Keeps you organized- functions as a personal diary, electronic organizer, has automatic reminders, and a contact list Faster communication- you can stay connected to the internet more often, easier to send emails and chat with friends Information at your fingertips via internet- faster connection to the internet, you can get news coverage, weather conditions, and so much more Innovative way of taking notes- with the qwerty keyboard, you can take notes as fast as you normally type on a computer Better way of sharing information- transfer files to friends while online, or transfer files to friends via email

Wireless Fidelity(WI-FI)
Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless mode. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi Network connect computers to each other, to the internet and to the wired network. Wi-Fi Networks use Radio Technologies to transmit & receive data at high speed:
IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.11g
27
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless network originally intended to replace the cable(s). It uses radio waves to transmit & receive data. It operates on 2.4GHZ ISM band. In the beginning of the Bluetooth wireless technology era, Bluetooth was aimed at unifying the telecom and computing industries.
28
It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver
29
3G
The rapid development of mobile telecommunications was one of the most notable success stories of the 1990s. The 2G networks began their operation at the beginning of the decade (the first GSM network was opened in 1991 in Finland), and since then they have been expanding and evolving continuously. In the same year that GSM was commercially launched, ETSI had already started the standardization work for the next-generation mobile telecommunications network.
30
3G
The dream of 3G is to unify the world's mobile computing devices through a single, worldwide radio transmission standard. Higher bandwidth enables a range of new applications!! For consumers, 3G quite simply means a more rewarding wireless experiencehigh-quality, low-cost voice, and fun and useful data services whenever they want them, whenever they need them and wherever they have mobile phone service.
31
4G
It is a successor to 3G and 2G families of standards
Speed requirements for 4G service set the peak download speed at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).
A 4G system is expected to provide a comprehensive and secure allIP based mobile broadband solution to smart phones, laptop computer wireless modems and other mobile devices
32
Android devices have an in-built GPS receiver. Using GPS receiver number of applications can be developed. For example, an application can use this GPS receiver to find the current position of the user and list him the near by hotels, tourist places, shopping malls, theaters, cab services etc.
Banking: Banking transactions and services can be made very easy by developing a mobile application. Transactions like balance enquiry, ministatement, fundtransfer and the services like cheque book request, stopping a cheque, finding the cheque status can be done very easily anytime anywhere using mobile.
33
Gaming is another emerging sector in the mobile domain. Apart from the single party games where a single user is intended to play the game, developers can also concentrate on the multiparty games. Multiparty games can be developed using different mobile wireless technologies like bluetooth, GPRS, 3G. MashUp: Mashup is an application that uses and combines data, presentation or functionality from two or more sources to create new services. Mobiles with the GPRS or 3G connectivity can connect to internet to get the data from different sources. For example, a mobile mashup can be developed by getting the sport news from the cricinfo, international news from the CNNIBN, technology news from newsX etc.

Summary
Mobile computing applications are capable of delivering real business goals and objectives
The rest of the module will focus on programming paradigms and techniques for the implementation of mobile computing applications
