Case Study

Mobile learning is also called as m-learning. It is an online learning

system. It supports mobile devices, a continuous access to
the learning process. It can be on appliances like your phone, laptop
or tablet.

Mobile banking is a service provided by a bank which allows its

customers to carry out financial transactions remotely using a
mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.

We can book movie tickets, rail ticket, air tickets etc with the help
of mobile applications

Now a days mobile apps are available for everything and it has
made our life easier.
