Mobile Device lacks some information that would better define what a mobile device truly is. There are few examples and explanations given as to what defines a mobile device. I am proposing to add in a revision that will contain more examples and a better clarification so that a broader target can better understand the topic in this article.

The article states that a mobile device is pocket sized but later examples such as tablets are presented as mobile devices yet these are not pocket sized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.3.58.122 ( talk) 10:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to propose removing the first two paragraphs under characteristics. They are technically correct ([ best kind of correct]), but irrelevant to the content of this page. No reasonable reader expects the devices discussed on this page to be self-mobile. Snackwell ( talk) 14:23, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Mobile device refers to any gadget you can carry with you. This includes portable speakers, mini keyboards, etc. -- Ne0 ( talk) 16:36, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Can people look out for adverts (sepecially by retriever.com - they hide them everywhere). I use "removing adverts per
WP:EL".--

This whole 'watch out for adverts' section as a whole just needs removal. Cheers.

Mobile internet device currently contains very little notable information. Most of the content is platform listings (i.e. what company makes what processor which could power a mobile internet device) that are not really relevant and should be pruned. Thus I suggest to merge the articles. 1exec1 ( talk) 23:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Can iPhone 5S get one or more mobile devices from other manufacturers next to it, because at this moment it feels very much like product placement to me. — Preceding

According to the lead of the article, a mobile device is "a small computing device ... capable of running mobile apps". So what are mobile apps? A mobile app is "an application software designed to run on mobile devices". Right, so what we have learned from this is that a mobile device is a small computing device capable of running application softwares designed to run on mobile devices. -- Lambiam 08:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
I suggest removing the secondary title "(or handheld computer)" from the lead. Not all mobile devices are hand-held. For example, a head-mounted display, which is listed under the section #Types is not hand-held. Neither is a digital media player, which is listed. I wouldn't call my Roku a hand-held computer, even though it does happen to have a remote control which is hand-held. Then again, it's not really a mobile device either - it's portable, not inherently mobile like a mobile phone. Is a wearable computer, such as a wrist watch really hand-held? I believe this article was merged with an article titled hand-held computer at some point, and that's why it uses a lot of verbiage about being hand-held. At minimum, I would de-emphasize the hand-held aspect of mobile devices. In the lead, I would at minimum change it to "(sometimes referred to as a handheld computer)" or something like that.
