“…It has been suggested that there are four types of m-government: 1) m-government-to-government (mG2G); 2) m-government-to-citizen (mG2C); 3) mgovernment-to-employee (mG2E); and 4) m-government-tobusiness (mG2B) [12]. This study focuses on mG2C to identify and measure the factors that influence users" intentions to use m-government applications, as it has been claimed that most interaction today is m-government-to-citizen [22]. Therefore, this study aims to measure some factors, found in literature review, that influence the intentions of Saudis to use mgovernment applications.…”

“…While e-government is the practice of information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the efficiency of the governmental services which are provided to citizens, employees, businesses and agencies (Carter and Belanger, 2005), m-government refers to the practice of mobile and wireless communication technologies in government administration and its delivery of information and services to citizens and businesses. Usually, m-government is considered as a subset of e-government comprising an alternative provisioning channel (Ntaliani et al, 2008).…”

“…The business sector of agriculture has been selected because farmers are a special group of users. They have a distance from decision and policy-making centres; it is often neither feasible (due to lack of transportation, time, money, or bad climate conditions) nor suitable to travel for gaining the necessary information or for using the available public services in their disposition (Chatzinotas et al, 2006;Ntaliani et al, 2008). On the other hand, smartphones have penetrated in almost all the environments where people carry out their everyday activities, and perform tasks that are normally run in personal computers.…”

The high penetration of smartphones and the advanced capabilities of the software that they can host, forces public agencies to rapidly transform their services in the mobile government environment for maximizing utility of services and minimizing costs. In this context, the aim of the paper is primarily to review the smartphone use and capabilities in agriculture. An overview of apps targeted to the agricultural business sector is provided. Secondly, the potential use of smartphones for mobile government is discussed and a transactional mobile government app for the Android operating system is proposed based on a case study for agriculture. The mobile government app is based on a previously developed electronic government system for farmers. Design and technical aspects for the implementation of the proposed app are presented and discussed. Such apps hope to be a promising solution for farmers enabling them to access government information and transact with public agencies at their convenience and at a location of their choice.

“…Through mobile phones, a government is able to deliver information to users regardless of distance, time, place, and adverse natural conditions (Goncalves et al, 2014;Ntaliani et al, 2008). Mobile phones can offer real-time and fast access to certified information (Ntaliani et al, 2008). …”
