Re: Mobile Web Time

As I am usually in front of a pc or laptop, I rarely surf from my device.... but may pick up this when I get my Touch Pro...

Re: Mobile Web Time

Ahh, no I didn't (although I did answer the poll). I ticked the "Couple of times a week" box. It's not something I use too much. If I'm sat in the living room at home and want to look something up then I'll use the phone rather than boot the laptop or run upstairs to the PC. Other than that, I tend not to bother.

I think if I had something like an Eee PC, I'd use that more for mobile surfing. I find the current generation of screens/browsers don't lend themselves well to the current web, unless a website has a mobile version - such as the very good 4WinMobile site

I also find a keyboard important for the mobile web - another reason I don't use it too much. It was much easier to surf on my old MiniS than on the current keyboardless devices as the soft keyboards take up 2/3 of the screen!

Re: Mobile Web Time

I'm a commute, mobile user.

As I travel regularly as part of my work, I find it really useful to have mobile access to e-mail and browsing.

I'm comfortable with or without keyboards but to me it's the browsers that are the weak link, not the devices or access technologies.

Re: Mobile Web Time

For me it's only used for the occasional look up. If I'm at home I use the PC, and if on holiday then the HTC Shift comes into play.

Re: Mobile Web Time

I use mine on the bus to work which is around an hour and a half most days.

Re: Mobile Web Time

I've said daily, because it is almost every day, but most days it's only a few minutes. Mostly at home using the device to look something up on the net via my Wifi connection, when I just want to know what the weather forecast is or what time a radio program is on or how many calories are in a sharon fruit (70) ... It's very handy having a connection while sat in front of the TV.
