  Abstract:

Mobile technological tools are being used today to collect basic information in the health, world climate, geophysics, ecology, and other sectors to exchange information, and to access scientific computing among many services. The potentialities of this mobile technology need to be spread out on a larger scale in the academia in particular, and in the society as a whole so that its benefits can become widely accessible for further development. This is an issue that needs more attention and promotion, especially in less developed areas of the world. Simply put, mobile science here refers to access to online services directed to worldwide scientists (such as e-Journals, seminar podcasts, lectures, conferences, on-line collaboration services, distance learning, video conferencing, remote data acquisition, etc.,) from a mobile device such as mobile phones, laptops connected to 3G networks via USB devices, iPods, palms, etc. Today, the majority of new generation phones can access the web in some way. There is evidence that mobile web access is also growing fast in developing countries. According to the ITU-International Telecommunications Union, there are 2.4 billion mobile phone subscribers around the world outpacing fixed-line Internet users, with more than 1,000 new users added every minute. More than 59% of them live in developing countries, making mobile phones the first telecommunications technology in history to have more users there than in the developed world. Mobile phone shipments grew to 930 million units last year. Cell phone usage in Africa is growing almost twice as fast as any other region and jumped from 63 million users two years ago to 152 million today (see, http://eprom.mit.edu/whyafrica.html). On the other hand, the possibility of connecting with a low-cost notebook (like Netbooks) to the Internet via broadband UMTS networks at low subscription prices is growing world-wide.
