Crossword Genius

Handy device, it's suspended in mid-air (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mobile

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'handy device' is the first definition.
(portable phone)

'it's suspended in mid-air' is the second definition.
(as in a baby's mobile)

(Other definitions for mobile that I've seen before include "American city" , "American port" , "Able to get around" , "subject of hacking" , "US city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
