ABSTRACT
Today, mobile devices have proliferated greatly and have a vast array of uses; for example, since the last decade mobile phones have been used as a medium for personal interaction using services such as voice (Nilsson, 2005), and SMS. Nowadays, these devices are becoming more powerful and
are being built with functionality, which was, until recently, only available for laptops and desktops computers (Serhani et al., 2010; Wirth 2008, The 2020 Science Group 2006). Taking advantage of this capacity, other uses have emerged for mobile phones (Delic and Vukasinovic 2006; Petrova 2007; Wirth 2008); they serve as utility devices incorporating personal information management, such as contacts, calendars, etc. Additionally, a more recent use is as a medium of entertainment, playing music, videos, and videogames. Also, mobile phones have incorporated utilities such as e-mail managers and Internet browsing. Furthermore, there is a growing desire in organizations to perform more of their business functions using mobile phones (Delic and Vukasinovic 2006; Gruhn 2007; Microsoft Research 2008). Mobile applications are also used in the context of health care, remote sensing, and remote monitoring and control.
