Mobile terminals or mobile devices are all electronic communication devices that have been developed for location-independent use in terms of size and weight, i.e., they are portable.
In the narrower context of corporate use, mobile devices include the following:
- Laptops,
- tablets, and
- smartphones.
In common usage, mobile media players (e.g. iPods) and e-readers (e.g. Kindle) are also included, occasionally GPS navigation devices and barcode scanners.
