The study in and of itself is worthless.

All of the first five categories could rightly be combined into "Home".

Nowhere does this study address use in places such as restaurants, while shopping, in waiting rooms, during a commute, or while at a vacation spot.

This is kind of like comparing the usefulness of a large pickup truck with that of a sportscar, and only looking at use on a racetrack, or use for a single occupant on a fifty mile commute. What is left out helps craft an innaccurate picture.
