Handhelds usage survey

Hello!

I sent on this newsgroup 2 weeks ago a post regarding a survey I am
conducting with a PhD student (Ben) from the University of Cambridge
(UK). The goal is to better understand some basic stuffs on the usage of
handhelds (PDA/Smartphones) devices in order to provide efficient
solutions for the design of some softwares we are working on. We are
focusing at the moment a P2P application.

We had a non negigeable number of usefull answers but we would like to
get some more to have "accurate" results. Answering the survey just take
2 minutes. We would like to know if you can answer it at:

Thank you very much for your support!

PhD student at LIP6
(Université Pierre et Marie Currie - Paris/France)

ps1: if the survey is hosted at free.fr is for convenience reasons. We
are using mysql which is not available at the university.
ps2: The mail address of this mail is fake. you can find contact
information on the web page.

I might recommend that you would do better for design purposes with a
conjoint analysis survey. Basically, it makes survey takers choose
different attributes based on tradeoffs between different features.
For example, it makes sense to find out not only what users prefer, but
how strongly they prefer it in light of other features. For example, I
may prefer 20MB of memory, the ability to beam pictures, and a red
phone, but what is more important? If I can only have a blue phone, is
that a deal breaker? If you are interested in more info on how to do
this, particularly for design, e-mail me.
