Making Sense of Mobile Devices by Hugh Saalmans, IntelliWhere, Intergraph's, location-based services division -- Tuesday, June 11, 3:45 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.

We know of organizations with trashcans full of data-capable mobile phones, victims of over-zealous phone salespeople selling products that do not deliver. How do you avoid this costly trap? This paper addresses the ever-expanding availability of mobile data devices and operating systems, and the software development languages used to program them. By looking at what the devices are good for, what they are bad for, and how you can get the best out of them, this presentation will help to illustrate the practical realities of making mobile devices work for you. It will include examination of PocketPC, HandheldPC, Palm, Java2MicroEdition (J2ME), WAP, Symbian, and other flavors of devices. It will look at convergence - the new PocketPC GPRS phone devices, the GPRS-Bluetooth phone devices, and a status update on fast wireless networks. The presentation will culminate with real examples of LBS implementations on some of these devices, and put a practical spin on what products can be relied upon to deliver.
