The difficulties of lab testing for mobile studies
It's slightly dated now, but there was an interesting workshop in Glasgow in 1998 that had some papers related to mobile context, and in particular the use of labs to understand mobile behavior.
All of the workshop papers are in html.
The one talking about labs is:
Johnson, Peter (1998): Usability and mobility: Interactions on the move. In proceedings of EPSRC/BCS Workshop, Glasgow
"...the conventional usability laboratory would not be able to adequately simulate such important aspects as the weather and could not easily provide for the wide range of competing activities and demands on users that might arise in a natural setting."
