What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the following devices?
Web Phone Handheld Pager Voice Portal Web PC Appliance
Web Phones
It is a modified cell phone with display hardware and Internet access software. Japanese use color I-mode phones. Europeans use WAP phones for messaging.
Handhelds / PDA
It is a small computer with OS, storage, screen, keyboard and wireless connection interfaces (IrDA infrared) or Bluetooth (Short-range radio) With wireless modem, we can sync over the air.
Pagers
A small wireless device that uses paging networks to send and receive data. Paging belongs to messaging applications. Pagers are ideal as cheap and low-power.
Voice Portals
A natural voice interface that runs on a server to give you a dialog. Listen your speech, calculate a reply, synthesis a response.
Web PCs
PC and even laptop are poor mobile devices, need to put near a power supply. Table PC, lightweight, easy to hand over.
Appliance
iAppliances stand for Internet appliances refer to specialized gadget designed as a single application. Webpad, WebTV,

Bluetooth
It is a low-cost, low-power, short-range radio link for mobile devices and for WAN/LAN access points. Both voice and data communications at about 70 kbps.

HomeRF
36
Infrared Technology
It is a popular way for handhelds to exchange data, typically range of 2M. They are often used to manually exchange information using strictly a point-to-point connection. IrDA v1.0 transmits data at 115 kbps. IrDA v1.1 transmits data at 4 Mbps.

2G
FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access 1980s each calling party is allocated a dedicated frequency channel: 3 users use three channels
CDMA & WCDMA Code Division Multiple Access & Wide CDMA 1990s callers use a shorter bandwidth 2000s Each call is spread, randomly broken down and mixed: ten callers use one channel.

1G introduced by AT&T in 1983, only analog cellular telephony. 2G introduced in 1987 in Europe. Three primary wireless standards:
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
2.5G supports faster wireless data services, GSM extensions. 3G & 4G provide wider bandwidth and higher data rates for mobile users.

A messaging service supported by cell phones that allows short text messages to be sent between mobile devices. All GSM phones support SMS, but not all CDMA or TDMA cell phones support yet. SMS teaches consumers to use wireless devices for non-voice services. SMS loses value as latency increases
How to reduce the latency? Ans: SMSC
