Common activities, situations, and contexts related to mobile design: 1. Light levels and impact on legibility 2. Cold weather (wearing gloves - not good for iPhone for example) 3. Speed of walking/running (impacts how mobile devices are carried/stored/used 4. Privacy (miniature cameras and cellphone cameras are now prohibited in my health club for example) 5. Size of hand (affect typing) 6. One handed use 7. Status 8. Used for emergencies and design for emergencies 9. Serves as entertainment center (watch movies, listen to books, play games) 10. Facilitates interaction with particular people (smartbadges that glow when you approach someone with common interest). 11. Interaction with non-mobile devices or ambient systems
