Mobile device

A mobile device is a small computing device, typically small enough to be handheld (and hence also commonly known as a handheld computer or simply handheld) having a display screen with touch input and/or a miniature keyboard and weighing less than 2 pounds (0.91 kg). Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG, Motorola Mobility and Apple are just a few examples of the many manufacturers that produce these types of devices.

A handheld computing device has an operating system (OS), and can run various types of application software, known as apps. Most handheld devices can also be equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS capabilities that can allow connections to the Internet and other devices, such as an automobile or a microphone headset or can be used to provide Location-based services. A camera or media player feature for video or music files can also be typically found on these devices along with a stable battery power source such as a lithium battery. Increasingly mobile devices also contain sensors like accelerometers, compasses, magnetometers, or gyroscopes, allowing detection of orientation and motion.

Handheld game console

A handheld game console is a lightweight, portable video game console with a built-in screen, game controls, and speakers. Handheld game consoles are smaller than home video game consoles and contain the console, screen, speakers, and controls in one unit, allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place.

In 1976, Mattel introduced the first handheld electronic game with the release of Auto Race. Later, several companies—including Coleco and Milton Bradley—made their own single-game, lightweight table-top or handheld electronic game devices. The oldest true handheld game console with interchangeable cartridges is the Milton Bradley Microvision in 1979.

Nintendo is credited with popularizing the handheld console concept with the release of the Game Boy in 1989 and as of 2014 continues to dominate the handheld console market with their Nintendo 2DS and 3DS systems.

No Footsteps To Follow

by: Handheld

It seems so complicated,
trying to put my overrated thoughts into reasonable words,
Words into writing
And all of my best phrases have been used already wasted.
Now that you are gone I am speechless.
You’ve left no traces only ashes still remain,
left blowing in the wind,
see them scattered over everything you’re never going to see and then
This portrait painted by death’s hand, you are the muse, my fallen friend
My mind racing Were you right or wrong?
No longer see the light in your eyes
Haunted by the circumstances, Torturing my mind.
Changing perspective You left without saying goodbye
My mind hollow now.
I’ve given up searching for the clues left for me to find.
But I still search my memories.
and I no longer live my life Depriving regrets I’ll hold onto what
I’ve got and stop living life in waste
For you it’s to little too late
For you made your choice and by your hands I suffer for.
My memories of you will never die
My mind racing Were you right or wrong?
No longer see the light in your eyes
Haunted by the circumstances, Torturing my mind.
Changing perspective You left without saying goodbye
Six feet down. Your final resting-place,
a place where you went to sleep
But when the time comes I will see you at the gate
