  6. Limitation • Lack of Standards(host of device operating systems, networks) • Device Constraints(weak processors, Limited memory, Tiny screens, Poor resolution, Poor Data entry) • Networks(too slow, expensive to fix) • Transition from 2G to 2.5G to 3G network

  7. Unique Feature • Ubiquity: easier information access in real-time communication independent of the user’s location. • Convenience: devices that store data are always at hand getting easier and easier to use. • Acessibility: Contacted anywhere anytime.
