A survey of U.S. cell phone shoppers by Data Development Worldwide has revealed unsurprisingly that folks want access to multiple kinds of content from their phones. Despite wanting more when picking up a new mobile, users still show preference to a few capabilities over others (for example, a nice camera). There’s something to be said about wanting a phone that just makes calls, and skips the headache of all the other stuff, but it seems like a significant chunk of consumers are supporting convergence. It’s almost impossible to find a phone without a camera built into it, even on the lowest end, and now features like Wi-Fi and GPS are starting to work their way down the value ladder. Social networking and third party apps are the next big things to converge on mobile, but for now are distinctly a part of upper-tier handsets.
