Mobile Commerce

Mobile commerce is now a vital part to any business and people's lives. Its hard to think back to how I ever lived without my phone or the internet. my first phone was the size of a brick and i only used it to send text messages and play some games. Nowadays you can barely see a phone to buy that doesnt have a camera, video recorder, wifi and bluetooth bulit in. The growth of internet usage is due to wireless connections. A study has shown that there were more handsets than PCs connected to the internet by the end of 2003 (Dataquest 10/05). I think that shows how far m commerce has come.
Most devices out there has wifi built in, mobile phones, laptops, even psp's. More and more areas and businesses have hotspots for wireless users. There are a number of advantages that m commerce brings such as it cuts costs for businesses and helps businesses easily stay in touch wwith customers, suppliers, and employees.
