Mobile Computing Essentials
By Russel CP
Mobile computing is the ability to do computing tasks in some or all possible locations. Here, I'll be listing the top 4 requirements for mobile computing and my suggestions or opinions on those requirements.
Portability
It is common sense: if your computers or mobile devices are too heavy to carry around they are useless for mobile computing. Gone are the days of lugging around heavy laptops. A good example of a very portable computing device is the Apple MacBook Air: It is small and thin enough to put in an envelope. Also good examples are the humble netbooks. These small, almost pocket sized computers are small and light enough that you can almost put them inside your coat pockets or purses. They offer relatively good processing power for the basic computing needs, up to 15 hours of battery life (depending on use) and are cheaper than most full size notebooks. Since Asus came out with the original Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), the EEEPC, almost all computer companies have created their own netbook line.
