Abstract

We utilize application trends analysis, focused on webpage content, in order to examine the design of mobile computers more holistically. We find that both Internet bandwidth and processing local to the computing device is being wasted by re-transmission of formatting data. By taking this broader view, and separating Macromedia Flash content into raw data and its packaging, we show that performance can be increased by 84%, power consumption can be decreased by 71%, and communications bandwidth can be saved by an order of magnitude.
