         Stockwell (2012), responds to Ballance’s (2012) claims about ideas previously stated by Stockwell (2010) himself regarding the nature of the vocabulary activities chosen and the impact of smart phones in learning adding that “Ballance had insufficient understanding of the activities that were used in the project" (p. 24). In adittion, Stockwell points out issues regarding mobile learning and analyses why learners prefer using PC’s over mobile phones for language learning activities “despite the fact that the activities on the mobile platform were designed for very short periods of time to be used effectively while on the move” (Stockwell, 2012, p. 29)
