Exploring the Relationship between Mobile Phone and Document Activity during Business Travel

Abstract

The past few years have seen a startling boom in the uptake of mobile phone technology with sales far exceeding even the most optimistic predictions. This uptake is widespread across user groups, but in particular it has shown its value for the mobile worker. Many information technology (IT) companies want to leverage this fact and develop new devices and services which will take the mobile phone in new directions, or which will exploit the fact that so many people already carry them. So, for example, we are already seeing the emergence of new kinds of data services where mobile workers can remotely access, send and receive documents and information.
