WiFi = Smartphone

By Rick Segal - 11 months ago

ABI has some research out with WiFi stats and smartphones. A surprise to some, not to me.

Research firm ABI has come out with the results of a survey done with smartphone owners concerning WiFi on the phone.
74% use it and 77% will want it in their next phone.  I’m not surprised given the first vanguard of smartphone users are (were?) power/business types.  As you would expect, with WiFi, there is more surfing the internet from the device which means that if you nail the UI on a phone, great browser, etc, that mobile phone as your next/main computer gets seriously closer to basic reality.

Cnet has a blurb on this here.

I think this consumer trend favours netbooks more than mobile devices - battery, screen size, a richer local computing experience.
