Every Friday I pick a paper from the ACM Digital Library that is found by the search term +connected +2005 +"mobile device" +"user interface", and write a brief discussion of it. Why? Because it makes me actually read them.

My Discussion

The contents are mainly an overview of 1G and 2G wireless phone networks, and what 3G services are starting look like. Alas, when it comes to the disruptions and problems 3G will bring, it doesn't get much deeper than, paraphrased, "There will be caching problems. And handover problems. And we need better screens." Might have been an interesting position paper at the time of the workshop for people who had no idea what the acronyms for 3G standards were going to be.
