Research firm In-Stat recently published a report that looks at how many devices people carry with them. The results are quite interesting: Conventional wireless industry wisdom is that consumers seek a single wireless device with multiple capabilities built into the handset, however, studies show that most users carry redundant devices.
In-Stat found that more than 15 percent of people carry two wireless phones. 80 percent of camera phone users also regularly carry their digital cameras. 75 percent of Smartphone users also carry a PDA. Related to this statistic is that almost half of the respondents originally thought that a Smartphone would mean that they would carry fewer devices. Lastly, more than 50 percent of multimedia phones also carry an MP3 player.
The full report is available for $1,495 USD directly from In-Stat.
