One advantage of using a mobile Internet device which are small, thin, and light to carry around for sending and retrieving email messages is that the user gets the freedom and flexibility to communicate with others over email and access information and conduct transactions anywhere at anytime. This is beneficial as the user gets to read and answer emails instantly.
The other advantage of emailing through a mobile device is that there is instant connectivity through a mobile which is faster than a dial-up connection in computers. The user has a device that offers more than one function from emailing to receiving calls thus saving the user the cost of buying a computer.
They do have their limitations as well, one of them being that they are small devices, thus they have small screens limiting the type of files and data transfer, and some site do not render properly on the screen.
The other disadvantage of these devices for emails is that they have a low battery life.
