On March 5th  I spoke about what it is that connects me to life when I’m remote from my home or office; what are the applications I most value on the go? And, what’s the one application that, trapped on an island, I just can’t do without? For me it was email. I ask you, the Better Broadband readers to take our survey and let us know what your island app is. Check out these results and see if they surprise you at all. I should include some demographics on our voters; 30% of respondents were 18-30 years of age, 60% were 31-50 and 10% were 51+.

The most popular island app was web browsing at 43% followed by email at 32%. Twitter and Facebook came in at 5% each and a bunch of you picked “other” which primarily broke-out into the websites for your favorite airline ;)

I guess the results shouldn’t surprise – the vast majority consider the basic applications as the must- haves. We can all wait until we get home to resume gaming and watching movies.
