Mobile Computing

In this topic, it was noted that mobile computing technology offers a quick and easy way to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability.

For me, using mobile computing has multifarious positive and negative effects.

Among the Advantages includes:

The power and data storage capacity of today’s handheld PCs and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) has made low-cost mobile computing a practical reality.

Efficiency improvement from the elimination of paper forms is not the only benefit that can be immediately realised. Electronic transfer of data is fast and accurate.

It is also beneficial in stores. Using a handheld computer with a built-in barcode scanner, one can automatically capture the ID of a person, location, asset or any marked item, like a special tool issued from store.

Mobile is the only technology which is now become necessary for any person in social and business life than computers.

As more users use M-Commerce, there are lots of companies use M-Commerce site to reach them by giving different and better deals in comparison of their competitor.

Companies try t reach to the consumer directly through M-Commerce,so users have no need to go far to the store physically and at the end it saves user's time and money.

It is Easy to use. There is no need of skilled consumer. Buyers can have look thousands of items on their cell phones and there is no need of online checkout process.

 However, I have noticed some Disadvantages:

Mobile has no big screen like desktop or laptops, so sometimes users tired to nabigate more and more to choose just one item from thousands. It affects shopping rates.

Every new technology has some problem at the starting phase. Here M-Commerce is new application, so sometimes people avoid to change which are rapidly change.

Each business has its own risk. Same M-Commerce is the growing field and a lot of investment in this field is become risky.

M-Commerce needs high speed connectivity of 3G.
