2.1. Section 1 — General Information

  • There is a good spread of respondent’s geographic location (though lacking input from Japanese and South Korean users).

  • Good spread of devices — reasonably representative of (smart) phones for the sample though generally Palm is much over-represented and Samsung especially is much underrepresented.

  • 30% of respondents intend to replace their device soon. This is similar to the yearly replacement average for US/Europe.

  • Balance in usage business / personal use of devices is 50/50

  • A quarter of respondents do not travel. Northern hemisphere continents (Europe, Asia, N America) are all travelled to by a large majority of respondents.

  • 18% of respondents travelling to Asia (given only 3% are in Asia) is high

  • Of the 28% who do not know if their devices would work out of their primary location, not all are the 27% who do not travel with their device. 8% of these do travel with their device

  • A large range of primary desktop Calendar applications is used. Slightly surprising there are not more respondents using Outlook (17%).
