I know people driving Lexus are richer than people driving GM. I'll only charge my report for $100.

Well, it's a good thing that I'm getting an iPhone on Friday! Too bad that I don't fit the "younger" part of the profile though!

Dang! The Jesusphone reverses time? Sign me up!

FWIW, Correlation does mean Causation. Signing up for a $300 phone with an $80 monthly plan is a self-selecting group so it's already going to skew towards people who can afford that on a monthly basis.

Now what the study may tell you is that many of these folks have their plans paid for by work and it would be interesting to see the compensation adjusted for that fact and then chew on the results.

Chances are those who carry an iPhone get it from work and its paid for by work. My husband is a physician and the smart phone of choice in his company is the Blackberry. Its the phone of choice cause that's the one the company pays for. Does that mean this network of over 1200 doctors are dumber than their counterparts who carry iPhones?

"Chances are those who carry an iPhone get it from work and its paid for by work. "

Highly doubtful, unless the company is in the business of making iPhone apps. The younger generation wasn't about to wait forever for their boss to get them an iPhone. I know tons of iPhone users and we all paid for them out of our own pockets and get a lot of use out of them.

Just goes to show you that you can't take all studies as gospel. there are many factors not mentioned.

Staying connected to your employer's network doesn't mean you're more productive. It means you're anal.

I'll finally be getting one at the end of the month and we'll see what happens. I'm expecting a 10% raise on the first day back to work ;) If I get it, I'll buy you a beer....or 10 of them.

Hey Flexo,
