[Year 12 SofDev] Slip of the tongue in the assessment handbook?

[Mark KELLY]

Hi David

The SD defines 'suitable mobile devices' as "including PDAs, mobile phones,
laptops and gaming devices" (p.45)

So laptops *are* specifically allowed!

Anyway, the slip in the assbook (as I fondly call it) should not have
specifically referred to a mobile phone when it meant "device"
