The NY Times has another of those ‘Mobile Web isn’t living up to the hype’ articles that have become so familiar since, oh, the late 90’s when WAP came onto the scene. The NYT quotes statistics from Rethink Research, stating that data will make up only 12 percent of average mobile phone revenue per user in 2007. Further, surveys by Yankee Group show that “only 13 percent of cellphone users in North America use their phones to surf the Web more than once a month, while 70 percent of computer users view Web sites every day.”
I have to admit I’ve only just become a Mobile Web convert, after purchasing an iPhone on my recent trip to the States. I now use the Mobile Web frequently, to check RWW and other sites during the day when I’m out and about — or simply when curled up in the sofa at the end of the day, trying to relax.
So with all that in mind, it’d be interesting to survey how many RWW readers use the Mobile Web. Please participate in our poll below:
