Investigate Cell Phone Operating Systems and
Compatibility Issues

• Windows Mobile- Is only compatible with Microsoft
  Outlook, this program gives you the ability to
  edit Microsoft Office document, where as other OS
  have read-only features.
• Blackberry OS- Similar to the Windows Mobile
  however the system only is compatible with
  Blackberry. The system is similar to a hand held
  PDA, allowing file sharing and updating charts
  and files. (calenders, phone books, and e-mail)
  Limits you to viewing only programs in support of
  the Microsoft Offices big three. (Word,
  PowerPoint, and Excel)
• OS X iPhone- Touch screen Mac OSX, downloading
  apps from the iStore, both Mac and Windows
  operating system capable. Able to download and
  view the document, if you e-mail to your phone
  then it is only a read only file.

Research And Explain Virus, Spam, And Spyware
Protection Software For Cell Phones

• Kaspersky's Anti-Virus for Symbian OS, which is
  in open beta testing, enables people to set their
  phone to receive regular antivirus updates.
  Alternatively, they can download the updates
  manually from the WAP section of Kaspersky's Web
  site. The cell phone security software includes a
  monitor to intercept viruses as they arrive and a
  scanner that looks for malicious code on request,
  according to Kaspersky. However it only protects
  6.1 and 7.0, and does not include the newest 9.0
  version.
• Also antivirus software is being implemented for
  example the F-Secure. The Symbian OS smart phones
  will provide on-device protection, similar in
  fashion to antivirus protection programs for PCs,
  with automatic over-the-air antivirus updates for
  a monthly fee.

Explain What Bluetooth Is, How It Works, And What
Its Security Issues Are

• Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range
  communications system intended to replace the
  cables connecting portable and/or fixed
  electronic devices.
• The Bluetooth RF (physical layer) employs a
  frequency hop transceiver to combat interference
  and fading. One device provides the
  synchronization reference and is known as the
  master. All other devices are known as slaves. A
  group of devices synchronized in this fashion
  form a piconet. This is the fundamental form of
  communication for Bluetooth wireless technology.
• The security issues are since it is only a radio
  signal others may have the ability to access
  conversations and hacking into your information.

Vocabulary

• Smartphone- a mobile phone offering advanced
  capabilities beyond a typical mobile phone, often
  with PC-like functionality.
• Cell Phone- a long-range, electronic device used
  for mobile voice or data communication over a
  network of specialized base stations known as
  cell sites.
• Antenna- A combination of wires, metal rods, etc.
  used in sending and receiving electromagnetic
  waves.
• Bluetooth- a wireless protocol for exchanging
  data over short distances from fixed and mobile
  devices, creating personal area networks (PANs).
• Radio Channels- Group of receivers that take in
  the radio waves and are specific destinations for
  signals.
