Effect of Device Portability

Power Consumption
Limited computing power, Low quality displays, smaller disks due to
limited battery capacity
Loss of data
Higher probability, has to be included in advance into the design
(defect, theft)
Limited user interfaces
Compromise between size of fingers and portability integration of
character/voice recognition, abstract symbols
Limited memory
