1) Many mobile solutions involve a significant hardware element in addition to the PDA, such as scanners, mobile telephony, GPS and position based devices, telemetry, etc... These extra hardware elements place additional demands on the tester, particularly in terms of isolating a bug to hardware or software.

2) Mobile applications are often intended to be used by people with no technical or IT background, such as meter readers, milkmen, insurance sales people, on devices that have small screens, and either no keyboards or awkward keyboards. Good usability testing, carried out in conjunction with key users, in their own environment, is essential. I have seen a number of hand held projects fail for the reason that the end-user could not come to terms with the technology, even though the application was robust and met the functional spec.

3) Many hand-held operating systems come in even more flavors than their desk top counterparts. I can think of seven flavors of Windows CE alone. Add to this that many enterprise PDA manufactures OEM the operating system, and update it regularly, you start to see the problems testing. Remember also that we don't have our faithful automation tools for regression testing here.
