Cloud computing is emerging as one of the most important branch for providing seamless applications on mobile devices. In this paper, cloud computing is introduced as a new and speedily growing and accepted way of providing better and efficient applications for mobile devices. It provides mobile users with data storage and processing services on a cloud computing platform. We are going to discuss two major questions which are basically raised on implementation of any technique. One is we are going to implement it? and second is going to be affected by it? OR challenges have to be resolved for its successful implementation. While considering about cloud computing in mobile devices first question about its implementation is further distributed in two aspects, one is how to build cloud for mobile devices and second how mobile devices will access this cloud for data and application processing. While considering about challenges we have identified/discussed various issues regarding mobile devices, mobile network, mobile applications and some major security concerns. So in a whole main objective of this paper is: 1. To discuss how to implement cloud computing for mobile devices providing data storage and processing outside the device: o How to build cloud for mobile devices. o How mobile devices are going to access applications being offered by these clouds. 2. What are the major challenges in its seamless implementation and what are their possible solutions?
