Mobile Phones 1.2 B/year

Posted by ehuang on May 16th, 2008

In Q1 2008, about 300M mobile phones were shipped.  That will equal about 1.2B mobile phones this year.

Who’s building the handsets?  Look here for the data:

Who is buying these phones?  I have two, one personal and one for work.  (I don’t get to expense the personal one).  Still this is crazy.   I don’t replace my phones every year.

Oh, and nearly every phone has USB internally or externally.

Fewer Words is Better - Blogging

Posted by ehuang on May 14th, 2008

Listening to the WebbAlert Video Podcast last week I learned that people that read less news papers, are actually reading less on the internet too.

The following study estimates that readers only read 18-28% of the text on a webpage:  http://www.useit.com/alertbox/percent-text-read.html

 A different study says that once committed, a reader will read an average of 77% of the words based on eyetracking:  http://eyetrack.poynter.org/keys_01.html  People like graphs and pictures and figures and stuff.

Basically, readers are choosy, really choosy with what they read, but if they commit to a subject, they will read most of it.

Expect every word my blog to be scintillating from now on.
