6. Results of the experiment

7. Early adapters think mobile TVs are fun and useful Ease of use is just a slight factor to these early adapters A user’s ability to concentrate amongst distractions and the quality of the shows are big factors in whether a test subject enjoyed using a mobile TV

9. Self-selected sample means skewed skewed 172 men, 33 women, 3 not 3 saying means skewed No way to tell what subjects found too distracting No numbers published on the 208, no Likert scale averages, we don’t see any useful data to make our own conclusions Distractions and programming quality have affected viewing enjoyment since ancient Greece. The fact that these affect mobile TV is in the “well, duh” category.
