What does it mean to live in a Mobile World?
Rich user experiencePC applications do not work well on Mobile Devices. Creating solutions for mobile devices that are exactly the same as their PC counterparts usually causes disappointment and frustration. A mobile device solution has to understand the mobile device requirements and provide functionality suitable for technologies such as multi-touch, the lack of mouse and keyboard, etc.
Platform AgnosticYou do not have a complete solution unless it works across the major operating systems, i.e., iOS, Android, and Windows. While the PC world is still dominated by Microsoft, Mobile devices offer a completely different challenge. Your solution must be ready for this challenge.
Cost / BenefitTo have a solution consistent across different platforms and situated for the devices you are using is great. But if the effort to implement the solution is too high it defeats the entire purpose. A Mobile ready solution should make these differences transparent and require as little effort as possible.
