Alexey,

"Mobile" in the cellphone sense.  Devices with screens small enough to warrant changing the layout of an application.

I use mobile as a direct example, because today the most common use for Media Queries is to alter a layout for smartphones.

However, this need could extend in the future to a variety of screens, from wristwatch-sized displays to jumbo displays in stadiums.

Consider an iPod nano-sized device — http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ — which runs applications made with web standards.  Or consider a 2.8"-wide smartphone display with a 720p resolution.  These are a couple instances where decisions cannot be made suitably based on pixel measurements.
