Hi David<br><br>The SD defines 'suitable mobile devices' as "including PDAs, mobile phones, laptops and gaming devices" (p.45) <br><br>So laptops <i>are</i> specifically allowed!<br><br>Anyway, the slip in the assbook (as I fondly call it) should not have specifically referred to a mobile phone when it meant "device"<br>
