Even better - the mobile commands could an error rather than spitting the dummy when called from a non-mobile environment. I usually add my own mobile get and set handlers/functions that do the environment test and then pass the necessary parameter to either mobileControlGet or mobileControlSet to minimize the number of times I need to write this sort of code.
