[Year 12 SofDev] Hang on a minute...

[Michael Wooldridge]

Actually, I've always wondered about the position of the laptop in that
list. What's the difference between designing software for a laptop and a
desktop? If, as I suspect, there is no difference, doesn't it make the whole
concept of designing for a 'mobile computing device' somewhat redundant?

SD U4O1 KK02- types and characteristics of mobile computing devices,
including:

*	PDAs
*	mobile phones
*	laptops
*	gaming consoles

Gaming consoles (e.g. Xbox, Playstation) are far from mobile - they are
strictly limited by the length of their cords. 
If the study design means to refer to games machines such as the Gameboy, it
would have been wiser to add the word "handheld" !
