Recent advances in wireless technology and availability of portable devices with networking capabilities made the increasing hot topic, ubiquitous computing become reality. Also, it made the mobile handheld device come with a rich set of capabilities for authoring and presenting multimedia information. It is expected that the mobile equipment will soon be one of the most widespread devices for consuming multimedia contents.
