Although the mobile device concept might seem to include any electronic device small enough to be carried around, the term implies [wireless communications](https://www.techtarget.com/searchmobilecomputing/definition/wireless) and the capacity for general [mobile computing,](https://www.techtarget.com/searchmobilecomputing/definition/nomadic-computing) along with other features. **Some of the most common mobile devices we use today include:** - Smartphones. - Tablets. - Laptop computers. - Smart watches. - E-readers. - Handheld gaming consoles. - **Smartphones :** This type of mobile device rolls the features of a cellular phone into a small computer to provide a diverse set of capabilities. In addition to making phone calls, users can run productivity apps, [send texts](https://www.techtarget.com/searchmobilecomputing/definition/texting) get directions, check the weather, take pictures, reply to email, browse the internet and perform a variety of other tasks. - **Tablets** : In one sense, [tablets f](https://www.techtarget.com/searchmobilecomputing/definition/tablet-PC)unction a lot like overgrown smartphones, but without the calling capabilities. Users can take advantage of the increased screen real estate to perform the same tasks more efficiently than on a smartphone. The larger screen also makes it easier to carry out certain types of tasks, such as manipulating graphics or interfacing with the device through [a soft keyboard.](https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/soft-keyboard-onscreen-keyboard-or-software-keyboard) - **Laptop computers :** A laptop is a personal computer that can be easily moved and used in a variety of locations. Most laptops are designed to have all of the functionality of a desktop computer, which means they can generally run the same software and open the same types of files. - **Smart watches :** A smartwatch is a wearable computing device that closely resembles a wristwatch or other time-keeping device. In addition to telling time, many smartwatches are Bluetooth-capable. The watch becomes a wireless Bluetooth adaptor capable of extending the capabilities of the wearer\'s smartphone to the watch. - **E-readers :** These devices are similar to tablets but are designed specifically for reading digital content, most notably e-books, such as those available through Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook. Ereaders are also designed to make reading easier on the eyes, while providing a lightweight form factor for more comfortable viewing. **Q-3 Difference between LCD.,OLED,AMOLED.** **Ans..**  **Q-4.
