"Research firm Gartner last year estimated that out of six billion corporate email accounts in use worldwide, less than one per cent were accessed from mobile platforms such as hand-held PCs or smartphones. Given the size of the market opportunity, Gartner now expects rapid expansion, predicting that 80 per cent of workers will use wireless email from some sort of mobile device by 2008."

A related report suggests that Laptops lose out to PDAs. The white paper from Avanade predicts a drop in laptop use over the next four years: "Two-thirds of UK companies plan to increase their use of PDAs and BlackBerrys, while half intend to increase investment in 3G phones and tablets".
