Survey finds Australians are least fooled by mobile internet waffle
It has been reported in the news that a survey of consumers in 14 different countries about their feelings towards using mobile phone devices for shopping, making payments and banking found that Australians were among the most suspicious of the technology. Results indicated that around 50% of Australians surveyed though mobile transactions were not secure enough and that almost eighty per cent of Aussies would not use a mobile phone to shop or bank or pay bills.
Whilst the big global tech product manufacturers want to push neive teenagers into yet another technological marvel, how about someone ask if the results point to the obvious fact that it is because its much more convenient to use a PC or a laptop for comfortable and convenient online shopping. Another small issue might be that bandwidth on fixed lines is always going to be a lot cheaper?
