Mobile Computing

Rick Chandler, chair of the EEMA Wireless Group

This presentation will track the development of the Mobile computer from the early 1980s and try to predict where Mobility will take both the business user and the consumer. The presenter made the keynote speech at the UK’s first conference on Mobile Computing in 1984 and has tracked its development ever since. As we head towards a ubiquitous Wireless Broadband world where Metcalfe’s and Moore’s laws continue relentlessly on we will examine possible limits. As UMPCs and Smartphones take over from Laptops, the effects of Mobility on Work Style and Lifestyle will be discussed (with audience participation).

Our speaker will just have returned from the CeBIT trade show in Hannover and so should be bang up to date with the latest trends and devices.
