As per Wikipedia, Mobile Technology is a collective term used to describe the various types of cellular communication technology. Mobile technology has come a long way from a simple CDMA technology to 4G.Today, mobile phones have instant messenger, video calling, in built GPS navigation system and embedded web browser which help the user to choose from thousands of web apps provided by their service providers.
In this outsourcing software development world, Mobile devices are enabled to use various forms of technologies to suite the customer. Many of the technologies to watch for in the coming future are the following:
* Wireless fidelity (WI Fi): - A type of wireless mode of technology to connect users with internet without using cables or data cards. Internet is accessible from user's phone through the in built web browser.
* Bluetooth (New version):- New Bluetooth versions will emerge by 2011: Bluetooth 3 will provide users with faster data transmission, and Bluetooth 4 will use new low energy mode to enable a customer to communicate with external peripherals such as PCs and sensors. Both versions provide technical improvements such as improved battery life and security.
* The Web:-In the coming future all mobiles will include web browsers, that will provide users with all new experience of browsing with faster surfing.3G service is at the boom as of now as, it has also provided new features to customers such as video conferencing, video calling faster access to internet etc.
* Mobile gadgets (widgets):-Mobile gadgets or say widgets are easily available and are easy to install. These are one of the convenient ways to provide the users with different services such as employee updates,feeds,notifications etc.Widgets are compatible to mobile phones and the application also as they are written in HTML and JavaScript.
* Device-Independent Security:-This is basically a collection of various technologies such as security technologies, application technologies and sourcing options that help in making a application secure. It is same as 'cloud' virus scanning service, without actually installing the application on the client's end.
* Platform-Independent Mobile application development Tools: - Mobile application development tools are taking an imminent place in the mobile technology. These platform allow different applications to run on multiple platforms.Thus, reducing the cost of installing the application again and again, depending upon the platform.
* Location tracker:-Along with GPS, other systems such as Wi Fi and cell id are used nowadays to track the cell phone's location.
* Apps Stores:-App stores are the primary way to distribute applications to smart phones and other devices. App stores also provide a range of business support functions, such as payment processing and will be using cloud computing for some of the sophisticated activities.
The mobile technology is growing and improving day by day, but that leads to bandwidth and security issues. Thus for bandwidth, the fixed cellular networking is followed that has become a standard feature for most of the laptops and other network enabled devices such as media players and electronic books.
