Internet Enabled Cell Phones are Hot Items
from the but-are-they-being-used-as-such? dept
Here's a recent study showing that internet enabled phones are hot purchase items this year. Of course, I don't think this says anything. More and more cell phones that are being sold have internet capabilities, and people are buying them for the phones - not necessarily for those capabilities. I've had an internet enabled phone since December and I've never used it for the internet. Of the people I know who have internet enabled phones not many use them to surf - and the few who do don't do it very often.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
