3BView Survey on Mobile Device Usage

I was contacted by 3BView, a company that makes a metadata removal software.  They are conduction a survey to try to better understand how lawyers are using handheld devices like Blackberries, iPhones, PDAs, and Netbooks.  I find this an intriguing subject because these devises are getting to be more like handheld computers than cell phones.

The 3BView folks have told me that they will provide me the data when the study is concluded so that I can share it on SmallFirmSuccess.org.  I encourage you all  to take the survey.  It is only a short web page of multiple choice answers.  I think the results will be enlightening.  Below is their press release.

For Immediate Release

3BView Surveys the Legal Market on Mobile Device Usage and Document Security

Survey will be used to better understand the use of devices such as Blackberry, iPhone, PDAs, and Netbooks among attorneys

ST. HELENS, U.K. – September 30, 2009 —  3BView, a global leader in metadata removal, today announced they will be conducting a survey aimed at attorneys to better understand how mobile devices are being used in their day-to-day practice.

“We are seeing a significant increase in the use of business applications via mobile devices by attorneys,” says Cathy Brode, Founder and Vice President of Product Marketing at 3BView. “Our goal with this survey is to better understand the way these devices are being used, so we can ensure the attorneys who are using them are not putting their data or their practices at risk.”

The sophistication of today’s mobile devices such as Blackberry, iPhone, PDAs and Netbooks now presents a practical and cost-effective alternative to laptops. Leading mobile devices can access internal systems and business applications, and enable the review, edit, and forwarding of documents. This survey is focused on understanding how these business applications and these devices are being used. 

The survey is available for all legal practitioners. They can access the survey at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB229PNSVQD9C through October 23, 2009.  All participants will be entered into a drawing to win an upgraded phone of their choice – either a Blackberry Storm 9530 or an iPhone 3GS 32GB.  Results will be available after the survey has concluded to all participants who request final results.
