If you read this, you can see that I don’t talk about technology at all.

So,
in short, a laptop with a fixed or wireless connection will always be a
foreground device that requires attention and engagement. A mobile
device is a background device that makes it easy to pop into the
foreground for a brief moment before simply falling into the background
once more.
I talk about the mobile device in terms of the lifestyle, the flow of how people use mobile devices. Therefore, you are wrong to focus on the technological differences or similarities between a computer and a mobile device.
For example, phones aren’t just browsers with smaller screens and lousy connectivity. Nor are phones tiny computer with small screen, krappy keypads, and smaller memory. And, integrating mobile into your app isn’t just about making sure it doesn’t crash the phone browser or have it send SMSs to the phone. There’s a lot more to it than that.
