Consumers want more from mobile phones

Bob Russell · 04-24-2006, 09:09 AM

There's some interesting new survey data about how people use their cell phones. And it breaks down the old stereotypes of cell phone users as people that just want to make phone calls without the complexity of other functions.

According to a recent national study on cell phone usage, people want to use their phones to do more. They want to watch video, listen to music, play games and even buy movie tickets.

Some of the sample statistics show that only 6% of cell phone users play music on their phone, but 19% want to do that. Only 2% watch video, but 14% would like to. That would seem to indicate a huge market opportunity.
