STUDY OF MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES WITH SECURITY ISSUES

Abstract

Advances in wireless networking have prompted a new concept of computing, called mobile computing in which users carrying portable devices have access to a shared infrastructure, independent of their physical location. This paper will have a survey on mobile computing. It involves software, hardware and mobile communication. Due to this, different types of mobile devices are talked and they are investigated in details. Mobile computing has fast become an important new paradigm in today's world of networked computing systems. Ranging from wireless laptops to cellular phones and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth- enabled PDA’s to wireless sensor networks, mobile computing has become ubiquitous in its impact on our daily lives.
