Mobile devices include portable storage media (e.g., USB memory sticks, external hard disk drives) and portable computing and communications devices with information storage capability (e.g., notebook/laptop computers, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, digital cameras, and audio recording devices).
This requirement is designed to address vulnerabilities arising when mobile devices such as USB memory sticks or other mobile storage devices are automatically mounted and applications are automatically invoked without user knowledge or acceptance.
Application servers do not manage mobile devices and do not allow mobile devices to connect to them as part of their operability requirements. They could host the applications that perform mobile management tasks, but do not have mobile management capabilities.
