Mobile and wireless application development has come a long way in the past few

to the reality of high-value mobile applications for corporate users. Opportunities
abound for creating new mobile and wireless applications that provide vital benefits to
any business. A sampling of these benefits includes increased worker productivity,
reduced processing costs, heightened accuracy, and competitive advantage. In contrast
is the concern that developing mobile and wireless applications will involve many new
technologies and concepts that many corporate developers are still learning to use.
