How much do you surf the web with a mobile device?

[JoeyBoy718]

I basically abandoned my MacBook when I got my iPad. I only use my MacBook now for things like typing reports and downloading large files, such as movies and music albums. I got an iPad initially for portable use since it was a pain lugging around a MacBook in my backpack all day. But I've found myself using the iPad much more than the MacBook, even when just at home surfing the web. I would say 80-90% of my overall use is on my iPad. I don't have a cell phone so I can't tell you about that. I've been phone-less for 2 years now.

I don't own a cell phone and the only time I ever have is when I worked as an AF recruiter since I had to be available all the time, I absolutely despise being available all the time. When I leave the house my wife will ask me to take hers, no thanks. Nothing annoys me more than seeing a room full of people with nobody talking just a bunch of heads buried in phones.

Yeah, I agree. I have apps on my iPad that allow me to do some phone things. I have textPlus which is a standard text app that can text anyone's cell phone and gives you a generic number (some Ohio area code). Then I have Talkatone which uses Google Talk, but I only have it set up so that I can make calls but no one can call me. I got rid of my cell phone 2 years ago because it was getting annoying.

Only if I don't have my PC of iPad.

Voted and posting with the basic kindle (4th gen). It's annoying.

I use my phone to be on the Internet most times. I moved recently and the pc didn't make it and my laptop is an antique so the majority of my Internet time is through my phone (Galaxy S3 if it's of interest) I've found my time online through my phone pretty painless in comparison to some that I have talked to.

I work for an internet marketing company, and one of the things we constantly have to think about is the fact that, by 2014, mobile web use is expected to surpass that of desktop PCs and laptops.

Reality,

I am about a 50% user of my phone on the weekdays and more on the weekends. At the office I am in front of a PC much of the day, but after I get home I use my phone the majority of the time.

Waiting to pick up kids, moments of down time etc, it is convenient to use the phone. The galaxy S3 makes it simple and I always have it with me.

I don't even own a cell phone and have only talked on one a time or two as I don't like talking on them. If I go driving somewhere I take my wife's cell phone but leave it off unless there is an emergency but have not encountered one yet.

I do all my work from a classic tower model and have a laptop but the only time I ever use it is if my full size PC has to go to the shop.

The thing I like best about a cell phone is the on-off switch because it gives me freedom from control and access unless I wish to contact someone and that is almost never because it interrups my train of thought.

I guess I'm just an old geezer who is set in his ways.

There is an app that does that.

I only use my PC for photo work. I use my phone and tablet for the internet.
