Correct me if I'm wrong if I assume you use the word "mobile" to mean "something that's portable" and not in a "mobile phone" way..
If this is the case, then the example I gave was about oil services companies using such devices in their 'tools'.
These tools are used to do things like Reservoir Characterization (is there oil? How much? How easily can it be extracted? What does it look like inside? At what depths?).
Here's another example:

It's such a shame they don't really communicate a lot because they do some really, really cool stuff. The featured company is known as "The biggest company you've never heard of" (3 x the size of Halliburton, 80+ countries, etc).
Also, the automotive industry uses a lot of stuff with ARM architecture (from Atmel, Altera, etc).. I know I've seen in ECUs (Electronic Control Units). These things control the vehicle (injection, etc).
They're also used in PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) -Stuxnet targeted Siemens PLCs, for example of what the things are-.
And let alone the stuff you find in air conditionners, alarm systems wether for home or cars, elevators, other types of machinery, etc..
