Mobility is one of the key trends for the year, and with more employees hitting the road for work, technology will play an increasingly key role in boosting their productivity and efficiency as well as making the travelling process more convenient.

According to a recent IDC study, Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan, will see the strongest growth in the number of mobile workers across all regions, with figures ballooning from 601.7 million in 2010 to 838.7 million five years on. Globally, the number of mobile workers will hit 1.3 billion, the report stated.

With this growth in mind, ZDNet Asia spoke to an IT vendor and business travellers on what kind of technologies they would like to see made available or more accessible to aid them in their work.
