The main idea of mobile computing is that your device is always on the move, you can use it almost anywhere you are. This concept spread widely due to the appearance of smartphones and computer advances that allowed devices to become smaller and smaller.
But ubiquitous computing is defined as computing almost ubiquitous in people’s daily lives, nowadays almost everything is made use of a computer, whether from your watch to the refrigerator of your home, practically everything you find a computer, i.e., Ubiquitous Computing is computing present in everything, Mobile Computing is computing you can use it anywhere.
I hope I helped :D

Perhaps you forgot to quote the Computação Pervasiva, in which it makes it easier to gain a better understanding.
To Mobile Computing is a more popular term, as it is part of our everyday life more often. It can be understood as access to information anywhere, at any time, and for that to happen there is a diversity of equipment such as cell phones, tablets, PDAS, etc.
The concept of Computação Pervasiva implies that the means of computing are distributed in the environment in a way that is perceptible and imperceptible to the user. Basically the Pervasive Computation is what defines it as invisible to the naked eye, but it is known that it is present in space.
As can be seen in the figure below, the fusion of these technologies results in the Computação Ubíqua which has as its main characteristics the decentralisation, diversity and the connectivity. Basically it arises from the integration of mobility with the distributed, imperceptible, intelligent and highly integrated presence of computers and their applications.
What are the main areas of application?
In education, medicine, residences, etc.
