Overview

More than one quarter of all Americans use devices - either laptop computers with wireless modems or cell phones - that enable them to go online to surf the Web or check email. The March 2004 survey asked respondents the following questions: In the past month, have you used a laptop computer with a wireless modem? In the past month, have you used a cell phone that can send and receive email? For the wireless-enabled laptop, 18% of Internet users said they had used such a device. For cell phones, 29% of cell phone users said they had used a cell phone in the past month that can send and receive emails.
