The digital forensic community faces a constant challenge to stay abreast of the latest
technologies that may be used to expose relevant clues in an investigation. Mobile devices are
commonplace in today’s society, used by many individuals for both personal and professional
purposes. Mobile devices vary in design and are continually undergoing change as existing
technologies improve and new technologies are introduced. When a mobile device is
encountered during an investigation, many questions arise: What is the best method to
preserve the evidence? How should the device be handled? How should valuable or
potentially relevant data contained on the device be extracted? The key to answering these
questions begins with a firm understanding of the hardware and software characteristics of
mobile devices.
