Google says a "watershed moment" for mobile Internet use

Google knows a whole lot of stuff from all the data it sees daily, and is revealing "We are seeing that mobile Internet use is in fact accelerating."

Google says their new phone search app has increased mobile searches by 20%.

Business push e-mail coming in the next iPhone update

On my recent business trip to Nashville I ran in to plenty of iPhone users, and every one of them LOVED their iPhone. The only real complaint I heard was the inability to use push e-mail from their company, like BlackBerry users can. Sounds like the upcoming June iPhone 2.0 update will fix that.

Excuse me, one of my 17 types of media is beeping...

Wow, the people who've agreed to take part in this all-day media use study must be confident that they don't have anything to hide, hmm? And check this: the researchers will monitor "the use of 17 different media as the people use them alone and in multiple combinations." (!)

Do you even come close to that? I gather that's counting multiple media on one device, don't you think? On your PC alone you could do e-mail, chat, browse the web, download songs and videos, etc... so that be five right there? Would a DVR and live TV count as 2 different media?

A wary view of the project here.

I've set up a news alert to monitor what happens as results get reported later this year.
