Anyone here have a solid definition of what a mobile device is that stands up to a contrast with, say, a laptop or very small high power desktop like a MacMini?
NIST defines Mobile Device like this: http://1.usa.gov/1HO4cWc give a good guide. Wikipedia adds in various characteristics http://bit.ly/1QqytBe . Dictionary.com has a pretty simple version http://bit.ly/1QqyFk5 but can be left under gross interpretation as to what can be held in the hand (singular). Lets face it, Andre the Giant could easily hold a MacBook Pro 15… can be defined as a mobile device because you *can* hold it in a hand? What about those Windows tablets that never made it from 2000 forward. Tablet, ok, but mobile device? When does a keyboard-optional laptop with a touch screen become a mobile device? A touch screen by itself certainly does not define “mobile device” ref the HP 27” Envy.
Is there something that is more of a solid definition that everyone agrees upon in the Govt or industry at large?
