Across the business world, getting the job done increasingly means the effective use of mobile devices -- such as smartphones, tablets and highly portable laptops -- while on the go. There's a nearly endless number of choices in terms of mobile hardware offerings for solution providers to familiarize themselves with, though. It's often also helpful to have an understanding of best makers of components for these devices, as well as the leading accessories for getting the most out of the devices. To offer a window into this space, we've assembled a list of the 30 coolest vendors in mobile hardware to know about right now.

Acer recently made headlines with the rollout of the first Chrome OS-powered tablet, the Acer Chromebook Tab 10, a 9.7-inch tablet that will target the K-12 education market.

ARM's microprocessor designs -- such as its Cortex-M and Cortex-A -- are licensed for use in most major smartphones, including Apple's iPhones and Samsung's Galaxy devices. The company's processor architecture is also now being deployed for the first time in Windows 10 devices, from manufacturers including HP and Lenovo, where the technology is helping to enable cellular connections and long battery life.

Asus is producing Windows 10 devices using ARM processor architecture, starting with the NovaGo convertible laptop. Asus is promising up to 22 hours of battery life for the laptop and calls the NovaGo "the world's first Gigabit LTE capable laptop," potentially offering faster download speeds than Wi-Fi.

A maker of leading accessories for top smartphones such as Apple's iPhones and Samsung's Galaxy devices, Belkin has been focusing of late on expanding its wireless charger lineup, including with offerings for business.
