Mobile Technology is easily defined
as technology that makes it possible to work from anywhere,
anytime. People have become more and more comfortable with
and reliant upon digital communications solutions, including
the mobile phone. When considering the utilization of mobile
technology in the enterprise, one must take in account that:

(1.4 billion) than there are landline phone subscribers.
The mobile phone is becoming a primary means of communication,
not only for voice but also for digital services, e-mail,
digital photos, navigation, etc. Worldwide over 350 billion
text messages, also known as SMS messages, are exchanged
across the world’s mobile networks every month.
- Mobile Sales Solutions alone will constitute a nearly
$1 billion market by the end of 2006.
- Worldwide, mobile workers number 60 million, or about
40% of the professional workforce.
- Leading early adopters of mobile technology include pharmaceutical
and high-tech manufacturing companies, with insurance, retail,
