Abstract :
Today over 90% of the world population is covered by a mobile signal and over 76% have a mobile phone. Mobile devices enable us to access information often in multimedia format at anytime from anywhere as well as share any information that we have with others. Further most mobile phones are equipped with global positioning systems which enable the applications to find out the location of the mobile user. These features enable us to create new types of context aware applications for mobile devices that may not be optimal for computers with wired connectivity.
