According to a recent study, Cell phones are on pace to catch up or exceed traditional style computers as a means to access the internet.

This isn’t surprising to me, since cell phones are constantly being designed to offer more features and capabilities.

Mobile phone owners worldwide have browsed the Internet on a wireless handset, up from 25 percent at the end 2004.

This increase is due largely to participation by users above age 35, which analysts say suggests that the technology has gone mainstream.

Japan is leading the growth, with 92 percent of mobile phone users having browsed the Internet or downloaded e-mail at least once a month on their phone in 2005.

These two technologies converging together will make for interesting times. I don’t think that personal PC’s will be eradicated because of them, there are just too many tasks that require memory, programs and peripherals. However, a cell phone with web access can help pass time with interactive games, Email, and video and audio downloads. This, in my humble opinion is the new Web 2.0. Providing information, products and services to people that are spending their days “wherever” with a cell phone in their hand.
