there is ASTRAs “Blucom” – http://www.ses-astra.com/business/en/solutions/media/blucom/index.php which uses the mobile device for interaction. but I guess it didn´t really take off. somehow cumbersomely.

I guess you have to remember that the iPhone gets free WiFi from BTOpenZone and the Cloud. So, yeah, if I’m near one of their hotspots I connect to it.

(and it’s not just for speed. The poor 3G coverage means dropping to GPRS or EDGE frequently. And on GRPS/EDGE, you can have data OR voice. If you’re actively surfing, it blocks incoming calls. So being on WiFi frees that up.

Focusing on the education potential, these numbers look like good news. The zoom up in usage must be in part because surfing on the devices satisfies and the PSP use surely includes a lot of kids. I think young generations from now on will carry a small device for web access — and your numbers reinforce that. Maybe the voice/messaging will be a tiny module that fits in your ear and integrates with the pocket web access or optionally goes with you without the pocket device? It’s hard to imagine there not being many configurations of devices as the entire world populations goes mobile.

Education wise, the most important thing is One Web — so learners globally are literally on the same page. Your post caught my eye this morning because the numbers there seem to confirm the One Web direction (instead of telcons creating edu content for only their customers).

Mystic Monkey – yeah, I suspect you’re right, but currently we don’t have that data.

Do you know how much of this on home WiFi networks as opposed to commercial networks? In a number of my projects we have found increased activity when people are at home. My suspicion is that if they are like me they are likely lying on the couch web surfing whilst doing other things and as you say simply going for speed.
