Examples of technical constraints introduced by mobility include the need for small, lightweight devices, small screens, limited screen resolution, unreliable network connectivity (if available at all), limited battery life, and so on. More activity-related constraints include the kind of information that is needed in a certain situation and how the information is presented.
