Taking the iPod Touch out of the equation for a moment, it’s interesting to see just how far ahead of other devices the iPhone stands – more than one-half of all mobile devices using coffeehouse WiFi ar iPhones. The closest competing French telephone in terms of coffeehouse wireless local area network hot spot market share is the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N95. In fact, the Sony PSP is the second most used handheld device at these WiFi hotspots.
One means to look at the information is that the iPhone makes web browsing so easy that users ar more likely to record hop on the information expressway for a quick least sandpiper.
