Mobile devices

Mobile devices are a very diverse category of devices. Even the devices with the same name can be different when purchased through different sources. It is very important for anyone connecting a BeagleBone to a mobile device to never forget the diversity and evolving nature of mobile devices. A mobile device can have physical differences or adaptations specific to mobile networks or even software customizations done at the request of mobile network operators. Due to these differences, connection strategies tend to only work with a specific subset of devices; working with many devices will require multiple strategies.
