The Do-Everything Device Doesn't Get it Done

If you're waiting for the price of smartphones to drop, here is some not-so-good news for you. According to one study, business executives have been slow to adopt one do-everything mobile device. How does this affect you? Well, business people are almost always among the early adopter group because their companies can afford the high initial price and they have a need. That helps spread the technology, competition grows and eventually prices fall.

The prices will still continue to come down because of intense competition, but it's interesting that the biz set has not yet taken to these devices. This could be a real hindrance to the spread of the mobile web. Maybe it's just that everyone wants an iPhone and businesses are not into that idea just yet.
