An interesting statistic crossed my path the other day, and that was the fact that 2 million iPhones had been sold in the UK. Now I have not fact checked this little nugget, but it is impressive even if it is half true. That is 1 iPhone for every 30 people in the UK. The iPhone is not all the smartphones that are out there, so combining with the numbers of Blackberrys, Nokia and Windows Mobile devices, you can say that the UK has taken a major shift towards mobile computing in the palm of their hand. The rest of the world is also going this way, and this accounts for why I feel so ‘me too’ when I see so many iPhone devices out there. I might even have to change my message tones as I hear other peoples’ around me.

Makes you wonder why SMS is even used any more considering how many people have mobile email!

Hopefully the number of people out there using these devices whilst travelling may actually encourage the mobile operators to reduce data roaming costs… maybe.
