OSAF assumes that some number of the mobile device users (PDA, smart cellphones) would likely be early adopters of Chandler. A portion of those users may be so dependent on these mobile devices that if Chandler were unable to share information with these devices the user, who would otherwise be a prime target for Chandler, would decline to use Chandler on the desktop. This would reduce Chandler's potential impact.

The analysis of the mobile device market will result in the following deliverables which will help OSAF make decisions on work that needs to be done for Chandler to interoperate with these devices.
