Back To School Mobility

According to this CNET article, students going back to college are gravitating toward mobility - laptops, smartphones and digital cameras.

Nine of Amazon.com's 10 best-selling PCs are laptops, dominated by Toshiba's satellite and Apple's MacBook. As notebook technology ages, prices have dropped, allowing for more to be purchased.

The most surprising development has occurred with smartphones. The market is becoming younger and younger as more text messaging teens and twenty-somethings are taking advantage of the full QWERTY keyboards and the mobile web. Just a few years ago only suit laden businessmen and women could be seen on the streets glued to their PDA. Now, more students are finding a need to take advantage of various PDA's numerous features.

With these continuing patterns, the future of the Mobile Web seems to be in great shape.
