Abstract :
Bringing the Internet and mobile communications together, as service providers and manufacturers are now doing, will create a new mass medium for communication, interaction and transaction along with a high-volume industry supplying the associated infrastructure. A combination of technologies is creating a direct evolutionary path from today´s low-bandwidth mobile connections and limited text messaging to full scale Internet access via mobile networks. Bandwidths of up to 2 Mbit/s, available through UMTS, will allow the most demanding of today´s Internet applications to be carried out using portable devices. Some of the applications of this combined technology, the portable devices and the media processors are described in this paper
