This paper provides a short update on the previous JISC Technology Watch report on the future of PDA and mobile devices which was published in November 2004. In the space of a year, one has seen a number of developments including the introduction of hard-disc based storage on handhelds, the spreading of WiFi Internet access and the continued rise of the smartphone, many with third generation (3G) telecoms access. Larger increases in the storage, processing and communications capabilities of these devices are predicted over the coming years, as is the continued miniaturisation.
