Cloud computing improves the efficiency of
mobile applications. This is because data storage and processing
are moved from the low resourced mobile devices to the
cloud. Mobile cloud computing however, faces the challenge of
intermittent cellular network connection since it is through the
connection that services are reached. In this paper we argue
that providing mobile cloud applications with temporary off-line
file storage increases their robustness without burdening the
low resourced mobile handset. We develop a module that offers
off-line support which we plug into a mobile cloud calendar
and we call it MobiCal.
