A mobile communication device for the following people:

·        A student who needs a mobile phone with internet access-

I have chose this phone for the student because it is quite cheap, £15.50 a month, and you still get a good deal with plenty of internet, texts, calls and an added bonus of the blackberry messenger service so the student can communicate with friends who also have a blackberry phone with out cost.  The phone has a QWERTY keyboard, so it is easy to browse the internet easily. I looked at other phones, with cheaper contracts but you couldn’t get a decent amount of internet for less than £15 a month

·        Self employed builder who is new to technology and has £600 to spend on a laptop for invoicing-

    Panosonic Tech Book.  I chose this because it is very durable for the builder who may want to take it to work so it wont get damaged.  The laptop has:

·        14” screen

·        Waterproofed keyboard

·        Carrying handle

·        Journalist who needs a electronic tablet when on location-

I chose the Blackberry tablet.  I chose this because it is easy to use and has all of the same outstanding features that the iPad does, just cheaper. The journalist will be able to take the slim tablet anywhere on the go and access all of it’s amazing features.  I also chose the 64GB tablet because the journalist will be doing a lot of work, so will need a lot of memory.

·         A factory worker who wants to listen to an MP3 player on the bus-

I chose this 2^nd hand 3^rd generation iPod nano for the factory worker.  I chose this because the iPod is very cheap, just £39.99, and a slightly older model but still as good, I don’t think it matters that it is an older model because it still does just as good job.  The iPod is also very durable and has lots of memory space.

The methods mobile devices communicate are called protocols, you need to identify and describe all the protocols used by an up-to-date mobile phone and a laptop, giving examples of the file types you would send over these protocols.

Wi-Fi-

Most modern phones and devices use Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi allows electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over a computer network like a Home Hub or Hot Spot.
Wifi normally has a range of 32m indoors and 95m outdoors.  Most phones, laptops and iPods can connect to wifi. Wifi can send anything through email, photos, word file, documents. Wifi itself doesn’t cost anything and comes free with most home phone and broadband connections. 

Bluetooth-

Blue tooth has two classes.  Depending on the class the range is different.  Class 1: range up to 100 metres. Class 2: range up to 30 metres.  The range depends on the transmitter and the phone receiving the files. The bigger the range, the slower the transmission speed. The closer you are to the Bluetooth transmitter the faster it will send files.  Most phones have a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth can send all files such as photos, documents and music files.  Bluetooth comes as an installed device on most phones.

GPS-

GPS is a satellite device used for positioning.  It is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth.  GPS is used on sat-navs Tom-Toms

SMS-

SMS (short messaging service) is a text messaging service component of phone, web or mobile communication systems using communication protocols that allows the exchange of short text messages between mobile or landline devices. All modern phones have an SMS service and can send single text messages of up to 160 characters.

WAP-

WAP is a device for accessing information over a mobile wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices such as mobile phones that uses protocol.
