aspiration to have continuous network connectivity irrespective of the physical location of the
node. The study of this new area of computing has prompted the need to rethink carefully about
the way in which innovations in mobile computing are being conceived, developed, tested and
implemented. In mobile computing, innovative ideas are constantly coming up with most of them
not proceeding beyond the ideation stage due to a variety of reasons. Thus this research focuses
on designing a model to address the problem of mobile innovation conversion. Specifically, this
work will analyze the factors that influence innovation in computing. To evaluate mobile
computing trends. To establish the barriers of entrepreneurial ventures growth in mobile
computing. Moreover, the evaluation of the proposed model will be carried out. Thus, the goal
