As so often, it is mainly what you make of it... but cmdb_ci_comm_hardware is much more general, as it is derived from cmdb_ci_hardware. Whereas cmdb_ci_handheld_computing is derived from cmdb_ci_computer. So you'd have some additional attributes and other predefined and suggested CI relationships.

Also, an Androidphone, iPhone, iPad or other tablet would more suit into handheld computing, whereas a good old Nokia phone would be comm hardware
