The term mobile business or mBusiness covers all of the activities, processes, and applications that can be realized with mobile technologies. In mBusiness, the business relationships take place by means of mobile devices. mBusiness can be regarded as a subset of eBusiness in which the information is available independent of time and location. The chapter first describes the mobile devices required for mBusiness (Sect. 9.1), and then introduces mobile communications technologies (Sect. 9.2). This chapter mainly focuses on current mobile applications (Sect. 9.3). Additional literature are compiled in Sect. 9.4.
