Poll: Where do you get your sports news?

October 6th, 2008 joel

In last weeks poll, we asked about cellphone usage among our readers. We found that our P&T readers are strong adopters of mobile technology, with almost half carrying a smart phone with a email and web data package. Another third at least had a cell phone with texting capabilities.

This week, with the baseball playoffs on and the NFL & NHL seasons in full thrust, let’s put our ball caps on:

Poll: how connected are you “on-the-go”?

September 29th, 2008 joel

The financial crisis has dominated the news the past few weeks, and last week we asked the question how you felt the media was doing in explaining the problems with our economy. The overwhelming majority felt that the media helped them achieve at least a basic understanding of the issues at hand.

This week we’re interested on how pervasive wireless technology is with our readership. Just how “tethered” are you?

How connected are you "on the go"?

  • Smart phone with email and internet access (45%, 14 Votes)
  • Normal cell phone with text package (29%, 9 Votes)
  • Normal cell phone only (19%, 6 Votes)
  • No cell phone (6%, 2 Votes)
  • Smart phone with email package only (1%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 31
