software vendors are working together to create new applications and services with the hope of taking a
lead position in the next wave of mobile computing. These services and applications essentially leverage
the increasingly high computing capability supplied by the cell phone and the flexible, high-speed wire-
less connectivity to offer an efficient, reliable, and rich experience to the end user. This section summa-

Mobile Commerce
This category includes mobile banking, location-based business information service and shopping assis-
tance, mobile advertising, and mobile payment, among other services. Japan and Korea already offer
widespread mobile payment applications that enable consumers to make purchases at a convenience
store by waving the cell phone past a reading device. Numerous startup companies in the United States
are developing applications that enable credit card payments to be verified, parking fees to be paid at
the meter, and social networking. Industries involved in this category include banks, credit card compa-
nies, retail stores, stock trading agencies, and online businesses.

Mobile Enterprise
Services and applications in this category are concerned with mobile worker assistance such as real-time
job scheduling, route planning, package delivery updates, mobile collaboration and communication, and
mobile business transaction. Moreover, enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications and supply
chain management (SCM) systems can be extended to support mobile access and onsite processing. In
addition to mobile enterprise, law enforcement, educational, and healthcare organizations may also uti-
lize these services and solutions to improve productivity and reduce costs.

Symbian OS is developed by Symbian, a company supported by several cell phone
manufacturers, including Nokia, Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung. Originally
based on the EPOC operating system, Symbian OS defines several UI reference models
for different types of devices. Symbian OS uses EPOC C++, a pure object-oriented lan-
guage, as the supporting programming language for both system services implementa-
tions and APIs. It also allows Java applications for mobile devices (Java 2 Micro
Edition, J2ME, applications) to run on top of a small Java runtime environment. The

Palm OS, developed by Palm Inc., is a preemptive, multitasking operating system for
Palm PDAs and cell phones. Palm OS supports both the ARM and Motorola 68000
architectures. Developers can choose a programming language from C, C++, Visual
Basic, or Java, although C is most widely used for Palm OS software development.
