UC Mobile: Student Bulletin System (StuBS)

Background:

UCMobile has organized a competition to come up with an innovative mobile application for students that they can use with the University's UC Mobile Infrastructure. We are expected to come up with an idea that adds functionality beyond what UC Mobile cell phones can already do.

Problem Statement:

Our main problem will be in trying to find a useful application that the UC student population will look forward to using with high ease of use. In addition to this we will also need to work on making the application run smoothly on several different phone models and require low bandwidth usage.
