I am not a lawyer but he is the law in NYS:
Vehicle and Traffic

provided in this section, no person shall operate a motor vehicle while
using any portable electronic device while such vehicle is in motion.

the following meanings:
(a) "Portable electronic device" shall mean any hand-held mobile
telephone, as defined by subdivision one of section twelve hundred
twenty-five-c of this article, personal digital assistant (PDA),
handheld device with mobile data access, laptop computer, pager,
broadband personal communication device, two-way messaging device,
electronic game, or portable computing device.
(b) "Using" shall mean holding a portable electronic device while
viewing, taking or transmitting images, playing games, or composing,
sending, reading, viewing, accessing, browsing, transmitting, saving or

authorizing the seizure or forfeiture of a portable electronic device,
unless otherwise provided by law.
