Talk:Mobile computing

message: I plan on working to improve the mobile computing page by providing more organization of more detailed information. The existing article will have more improved information on what is meant by mobile computing along with related content such as portable computerized devices used, the impacts that mobility has on different components, and as well as the interactions of using mobile computing.

thread_title: working to improve 

message: I think if merging is plausable, thoughy i think mobile computer would be a sub section of mobile computing as this is part of the whole overview. JD
Mobile computing is considered a market segment and is understood as such. merged computing is currently undifined and can mean anything.

mob.comp. is really a booming sectore in itself. its the need of the day, as no one wants to carry heavy laptops.
the demand for mobile computing will lead to more advanced mobile computing. defffinetly one can say its the its the need of the day and requerement of the future.

thread_title:  Your ideas whether to merge.... James Dalley 

message: ___ This section covers the activity of Mobile Computing which reaches into the topics of mobile communications, mobile computing, mobile asset tracking, wireless dispatch, AVL, mobile digital video, and so on. So Mobile Computers may be a segment of Mobile computing, but I suggest we let these flourish separately and encourage cross linking between the sections. I will work on more content as well. _B1
The main problem with this page is that the phrase "mobile computing" defines itself adequately, just as do "red sock" and "big apple."  Ask yourselves does the world need a long, erudite exploration of the history, uses, implications and structural characteristics of red socks?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.186.204 (talk) 19:33, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maintain As Separate Topics 

message: What's the practical difference between a PDA and an Internet tablet? Has the media ever drawn a distinction between the two? If a smartphone is a PDA with a cellular radio, then Android must be a PDA operating system, yet Archos 43 is marketed under the name Internet tablet. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 01:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Internet tablet vs. PDA 

message: We should think carefully about the overall taxonomy of computing devices. Perhaps "mobile" devices are not the same as portable ones. I'm thinking that mobile devices have cellphone capability, whereas portable computers only have Wi-Fi. Will that distinction become more or less significant with time? I don't know. Here is what I see as the taxonomy:
* Supercomputers
* Mainframes
* Servers
* Personal Computers:
     Desktops
     Portables
          Laptops
          Tablets
                Slate (no physical keyboard)
                Convertible (physical keyboard that can be disconnected or stowed under, behind the screen)
          Netbooks
          Ereaders with Wi-Fi
      Mobile devices
           Smartphones
           Personal hotspot devices
