Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal blog included details of two surveys that seem to show Americans prefer their mobiles to many other things.
Best Buy Mobile found that 60% of adults would rather give up alcohol for a week than give up their mobile for a week. 33% would rather ditch their TV than their phone, while 15% would rather have a filling at the dentist than live without their mobile handset.
And shoe retailer Zappos.com found that 31% of women ranked their mobile phone or PDA as more important than their spouse or hired help when it came to organising their life.
