This semester I had the choice between different computer science electives up to 3 subjects. I decided, inter alia, for mobile computing. In mobile computing students are involved to develop applications for mobile devices. Here you should choose the operating system for which you would like to develop: the Symbian OS, Google Android, Linux (OpenMoko), OS X, Windows Mobile and Java2ME. It was a really hard decision. I thought a lot about it and finally came to the conclusion that although Google Android and OS X is currently at the height of the hype, it would be smarter to deal with Windows Mobile, because this system is widely spread in the business sector-wide and I think that the iPhone or G1 in the nearby future hadly scale in this industry. I do not exclude the fact that among the users Windows Mobile due to rising competition is not so popular, but the professional introduction may be, in my opinion, only BlackBerry with MS .
I will make a project together with 2 other students. I do´t know exactly what it will be. Presumably, an application that provides the shortest path between nodes (Traveling Salesman Problem or something in the way). That would be very interesting for me because my father as a package supplier has to deal with that problem every day, and so I can make his life a bit easier. If anyone has a more interesting idea, I would be happy;)
