The term '''mobile device''' is often used to mean higher-tech worn devices, but there is no real difference in form factor, except that a mobile device is probably more likely to have a [[display]] screen capable of displaying more than one line, or an [[IP number]], whereas most of the above don't. | The term '''mobile device''' is often used to mean higher-tech worn devices, but there is no real difference in form factor, except that a mobile device is probably more likely to have a [[display]] screen capable of displaying more than one line, or an [[IP number]], whereas most of the above don't. It is also more likely to have a bad user interface, contain [[tantallum]], and need to use both your eyes and both hands to make use of. The more [[Consumerium Services]] can be deployed without these inconveniences, the more likely they will work. | ||
The [[Consumerium buying signal]] will often be received by such a worn device. Although it would ideally be available at the [[checkout counter]] or [[retail shelf]] or some [[kiosk]] in between (inside the retail location), it seems unlikely that this would be available for [[pilot]] or early phases, or in hostile retailers who wish to keep selling [[red-light product]]s without harassment. Accordingly the worn device will have to be supported regardless, and since it serves so many other purposes in the [[healthy signal infrastructure]] it seems wise to assume that the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] will primarily rely on these devices, and not on any in-store deployment of specialized devices (which probably will be deployed only by those who specialized in [[green light]] products anyway, and wish to convince buyers that they are in fact much better than the alternatives not recommended). | The [[Consumerium buying signal]] will often be received by such a worn device.
