ResumoCellular telephones have become an integral part of the modern world in much the same way as the Internet has, providing human connectivity in a way never before possible. While most cell phones are used for their original intent, making telephone calls wirelessly, mobile devices are also coming loaded with features and capabilities, which are often times little used and often ignored. Three such capabilities are (a) the Short Message Service (SMS) or text message, (b) WAP browsers, and (c) Java MIDlets. In this talk, I will compare the relative advantages, costs, and lessons learned while developing applications based on each of these technologies. Examples include a wide range of interactive SMS applications, ranging from simple data access applications to more complex applications that maintain session state across multiple accesses.
