Mobility among the masses is now in vogue. In the years to come, work in cloud clouding computing is expected to reach greater heights. Although, a new wave of evolution has broken shores, a vast expanse lies yet unexplored. The mobile cloud is Internet-based data, applications and related services accessed through smart phones, laptop computers, tablets and other portable devices .Mobile cloud computing is differentiated from mobile computing in general because the devices run cloud-based Web apps rather than native apps. Users subscribe to cloud services and access remotely stored applications and their associated data over the Internet. Mobile cloud computing is a technique, or a model, which allows mobile applications to be built, powered and hosted using cloud computing technology. In this model, the cloud performs the resource-hungry activities such as processor-intensive tasks and storing massive chunks of data. The proposed model aims to free mobile devices from performing these tasks; thereby, allowing the devices to run cooler and with less power than would have been otherwise required. Using a tailored algorithm to seek out the shortest route to a given cloud resource on the internet, this model maintains its own database. When a mobile device connects to the internet to seek a cloud based resource, the model identifies the request and routes it to the shortest path which it has kept track of with the aid of its constantly updated data table. This paper discusses the proposed model and aims to illustrate the manner in which mobile device users would be able to use the cloud application and also take advantage of energy savings not only in terms of power consumed, but also most importantly – time.

Keywords: Mobile cloud computing, chunks of data, algorithm, database, internet.
