The mobile device may further include a sensor operable for measuring a temperature or other environmental condition of the mobile device. The sensed characteristic may be a temperature of the mobile device in one embodiment. For example, the sensed mobile device characteristic may be the temperature of the surface of the mobile device case, or the internal space of the mobile device within the case, in which electronic components of the mobile device are disposed. The determining of the action may involve computing a dew point based on the sensed mobile device characteristic and the monitored at least one environmental characteristic.
The mobile device further includes at least one network interface operable for exchanging data signals with the processor, and with a network. The data signals relate to the monitoring of at least one environmental characteristic of at least two environments in which the mobile device is operable, the tracking of the location of the mobile device in relation to the at least two environments, and/or the informing of the mobile device with the data relating to the at least one environmental characteristic of the environment in which the mobile device is located.
