What’s out there?
• Combination devices• Wireless LAN• Always-on access• GPS
Digital Pen and Paper
• Digital Pen– An ink pen equipped with electronic sensors to
allow it to digitally capture what the Digital Pen writes and transmit it back to a computer

Monitoring crucial functions of an organization and delivering to a wireless device
Notify user whenever a crucial indicator is triggered or a decision is needed.
Instant links can be established with assistants, work forces or fellow executives, so everyone can act quickly, wherever they are.
The application is "always on.“ Whenever a hotspot appears, it will notify the user instantly by the chosen prompt—be it a ring, vibration or illumination.
Three converging technologies—J2ME, Java Phones, and "always on" wireless networks — make this application possible.
Mobile Decision Support

Wireless allows the user of a hand-held device to identify a desired location, download information including maps, driving directions, sound and video, ask questions and retrieve answers or enter into live conversation with relevant parties.
Turning location-based services into geo-coded knowledge management.
