Slow Adoption of Converged Devices
A new survey by In-Stat shows that users of mobile business gadgets are not in as big a hurry to move to converged devices as previously thought.
The $3495 report from In-Stat entitled “Converged Devices: US Road Warriors Start Cord Cutting” shows that only about 8% of business travellers have given up their land lines and gone completely mobile. Issues that impede wider adoption of converged devices include such things as battery life and usability/ergonomics.
Users also appear reluctant to put all their eggs in one basket and prefer to carry redundant devices.
