Thus, increasingly more employees and students are mobile users, who work on a mobile computer or device while away from a main office, home office, or school. Some examples of mobile users are sales representatives, real estate agents, insurance agents, meter readers, package delivery people, journalists, and students. Mobile users often have a mobile computer and/or mobile device. With these computers and devices, the mobile user can connect to other computers on a network or the Internet, often wirelessly accessing services such as e-mail and the Web.

For entertainment, the mobile user plays video games on a handheld game console and listens to music or watches movies on a portable media player. The mobile user works with basic business software such as word processing and spreadsheet software. With presentation software, the mobile user can create and deliver presentations to a large audience by connecting a mobile computer or device to a video projector that displays the presentation on a full screen.
