Converged Mobile Devices Still Not "In" for Business People

Contrary to what many geeks believe, the adoption of converged mobile devices like smartphones remains very low. According to a study by In-Stat among US business people, users are still loyal to old technology. Here are some free insights from this expensive report:
  • One positive sign of progress in convergence is that 8% of road warriors, businesspeople who travel frequently, have given up a desk phone to rely solely on their mobile number.

  • Before employers can insist that employees use fewer devices, manufacturers need to address battery life and ergonomics issues for portable devices.

  • The survey shows that many more users prefer to carry redundant devices than chose to have a single telephone number and a single computing device.
