Wireless Users Carry Multiple Devices
In-Stat just finished another study that indicates most wireless users carry redundant devices:
- More than 15% of people carry two wireless phones
- 80% of the people that have a camera phone also regularly carry their digital camera
- 75% of SmartPhone users also carry a PDA
- Over 50% of users of multimedia phones also carry their MP3 player
Here are some other finding in their research:
- Only 43% of the respondents (all are business users) stated that higher productivity would be obtained with a SmartPhone
- Many wireless users consider the additional capabilities offered within a wireless device to be a gift for becoming or remaining a subscriber, and not as a tool that is enhanced with real-time data
- Almost half the respondents believe that they will carry fewer devices by owning a SmartPhone (even though most end up carrying a PDA anyway)
You can find more information in their report, Repetitive Redundancy: The Consumer's Tendency to Carry Duplicate Devices. The research covers consumers' attitudes towards wireless devices and also includes results from In-Stat's surveys of wireless telecommunications consumers. The report also contains extensive analysis of users' behaviors regarding wireless devices and services. The price is $1,495 (US).
