Valuable considerations when developing wireless software

Whether you’re starting from scratch with a wireless mobile application development project or converting an off-line application to operate in the wireless world, keep the following points in mind:
1. Always consider what will happen if wireless connectivity is lost, and have appropriate recovery mechanisms in place.
2. Look at your application from the viewpoint of a hacker, and design-in security elements, such as encryption and authentication, that significantly reduces or eliminates the security threat.
3. Minimize the transmission of data and overhead packets in order to increase battery longevity.
