Am I the only one without a smartphone? I'm still using some old, beaten up Samsung crap which allows me to talk and sms a little. I spend my whole life in front of a computer, I am still always connected.

Clearly, they are taking the "mobile" approach, it just doesn't suit me very well



It's not just your phone. I have an iPhone and an iPad (well...and another convertable netbook "tablet" thing that has been sitting in a project box for over a year), and I don't really "do" mobile.

Mobile news? Are people that attention deficient?


My favorite time to read news is my commute. I don't get your point.


Me too. Hopefully they will use a font big enough to see while I'm driving.


Yeah, I am not going to waste 30 minutes of commute time staring at the floor or out the window.


For the vast, vast majority of the country, a commute involves piloting a car.

Please don't use your phone while doing this.


I bike. Commuting sounds awful.


Just because people keep up with the news a different way than you do doesnt mean they have A.D.D.


Mobile news is as old as newspapers... this is just a different format. :)


Me as well, no mobile phone at all actually. But I just made decision to buy a WIFI only smartphone (meaning an Ipod Touch or Galaxy player) since I am connected 12 out my 16 waking hours. The rest of the time (driving, reading, relaxing) it's probably best I stay disconnected.


I'm the same. I have a motorolla razr from 2006 on an $11/month pay as you go. I've always got my laptop with me.
