   I do not watch any video over wireless in terms of mobile (cell phone) product offerings like the crap limited video selection the likes of Verizon wishes to subject us to and then wants to CHARGE for on top of it.

   I watch YouTube all the time via Wireless on the iPhone, but that I imagine, to the degree it would count here, would still count as personal computer usage.

   I Only watch over Television, and movie theatre. I would think in-car DVD is going up because most family cars are making dvd standard.

   Looks like 37 percent of iPhone users watch video. Robert, you are not alone!

   I think that wireless watching has a long way to go in terms of quality and price before it becomes a viable alternative. The analysts almost never consider price when it comes to making these projections, and I think that right now it's more pertinent than ever. iTunes would definitely qualify as a frivilous expenditure and it'll be interesting to see how much of a bit the weak economy takes out of that.

   Personally, my watching is 80% live, 10% downloads and 10% network websites. It's very fluid though and the only thing I absolutely want to watch live is Lost. If I need to tighten the budget, cable would be gone first.

   According to Holson, “It’s no surprise that 25- to 34-year-olds make up the largest segment of owners, or a third of all iPhone users. But the over-50 set makes a significant showing, too, as 14.4 percent of iPhone users are aged 55 years old to 64 years old”.

   Holson almost seems surprised by the size of the over 55 segment that uses iPhones. This segment always seems to be underestimated. However, this helps to prove my point that the 'older folks' of today who lived through Woodstock and “Flower Power” aren't afraid to try something new. They were the agents of great social changes. Advertisers and networks are foolish to ignore them.
