Mobile Commerce

 After doing research I found on a website called searchmobilecomputing.com that M-commerce (mobile commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services through wireless handheld devices such as phones and other personal digital assistants (PDAs). Known as next-generation e-commerce also known as m-commerce enables users to access the Internet without needing to find a place to plug in.
