Study says people will buy via wireless Web

SAN FRANCISCO-Telephia Inc. gave new hope to mobile Internet entrepreneurs with its latest study, finding almost one-quarter of wireless Internet users purchased some type of product with their wireless device.

The study also found 75 percent of respondents either use or are considering using their devices for secure transactions such as online trading, online banking and other activities. Of those users making purchases, most use their laptop, while only 17 percent use their personal digital assistant and 12 percent use their wireless phone.
