Maybe "the year of mobile" really IS this year: Nielsen seems to think so (http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.san&s=86270&Nid=44786&p=952081). Every time I travel to Europe to visit my wife's family, I'm struck by how much more deeply mobile technology and use seem to have penetrated daily life there. Likewise, mobile usage when I lived in New Zealand 5-6 years ago was about where it is in the US today -- most of the people I knew didn't bother with home land lines. For a nation that prides itself on being digitally ahead of the game, we're surprisingly far behind when it comes to everyday mobile use. Hi, Rick.

Every time I travel to Europe to visit my wife’s family, I’m struck by how much more deeply mobile technology and use seem to have penetrated daily life there. Likewise, mobile usage when I lived in New Zealand 5-6 years ago was about where it is in the US today — most of the people I knew didn’t bother with home land lines.

For a nation that prides itself on being digitally ahead of the game, we’re surprisingly far behind when it comes to everyday mobile use.
