"Of the people we talked to, 74% listed productivity as the top feature they value in their smartphone."
Really? Who are they talking to? Certainly not iPhone users. Or Palm or Blackberry users. Maybe company IT people in companies that buy their phones for their employees so they can keep tabs on them at all times?
Certainly a tiny minority of the overall phone market, where people buy their own phones out of pocket.
My friends, coworkers and employers don't value productivity on their phones at all. It's not even a word that would occur to them to use. In fact, they'd use their iPhones and Blackberrys for all of the things they didn't want on company servers. Because if the company doesn't buy the phone and pay the bill, the primary purpose of the phone is for all the things in their lives that aren't work.
This is why, at a recent company dinner, nearly everyone had iPhones. Especially the bosses, who saw them as a status item.
