Mobile device
From The IT Law Wiki
A mobile device is “a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.”[1]
Mobile devices include portable cartridge/disk-based, removable storage media (e.g., floppy disks, compact disks, USB flash drives, external hard drives, and other flash memory cards/drives that contain non-volatile memory) or portable computing and communications device with information storage capability (e.g., notebook/laptop computers, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, digital cameras, and audio recording devices).
Today, consumers use mobile devices for myriad purposes, including “chatting” through text messaging, taking pictures, browsing the Web, making purchases, listening to music, viewing videos, playing games across cyberspace, and keeping track of friends and relatives.
Only about 10-15% of wireless subscribers use their mobile devices for Internet browsing. U.S. consumers who use their wireless device to access the Internet appear particularly interested in obtaining information about traffic, restaurants, movies, stock quotes, maps, sports, and weather.
