Abstract

A mobile phones provides portability and personalized computing with ubiquitous connectivity. This combination makes them an ideal choice to use for various applications of personal use. The portability of mobile devices is the most important and useful feature of mobile devices. However, portability is achieved at the high cost of limited power and computation ability of the mobile device. Cloud computing fulfills the need of providing more computation power to complete the tasks that cannot be done on a mobile platform. The cloud provides an always available platform and do not have typical limitations, e.g. limited battery and computation power, of mobile platforms. Therefore combining cloud computing with mobile provides us best of both worlds i.e. we have a computing platform available for us all the time which we move, and yet we can access services and perform tasks that require high-power computation.
