AvantGo conducted a survey of 3,260 users to find out what they want from an “all-in-one” portable device. Not surprisingly, number one was “Calendar/contact list”. Well, assuming the device has mobile phone capabilities I suspect few people would be willing to manually type in phone numbers. The list is fairly standard, but points out some problems the manufacturers are grappling with. For example, “compact size” and “large screen” are both on the list. Some surprising preferences: “MP3 players (77%) ranked slightly higher than phones (76%) and GPS locators (65%), while more hard drive memory (64%) edged out cameras (63%) in popularity.”
