A revolution is on its way and you are invited! Computer
Science had mostly evolved around a growing number of
processors, faster memory and larger disk space. However,
nowadays a revolution with much more modest specifications
is changing the way people use computers. Mobile
devices have become a new platform for computing. This
time, the revolution is not centered on bigger computers but
it has in its core portability and the end-user experience.
Apple brought to the world a set of “pocket computers”
called iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad which, besides serving as
portable media devices, may also contain different types of
sensors and communicate with networks through wi-fi and
bluetooth – some devices even allow the user to make phone
calls!
