This sweepstakes is now closed. Please ‘like’ our Facebook page for updates on more F-Secure news and promotions.
Congratulations to our winner, Earl.
For years, analysts predicted that all of our devices — PCs, laptops, DVD players, mobile phones — would merge into one all-purpose device that would handle everything we do digitally. Surprisingly we are seeing more and more that people are actually travelling with up to three devices — a phone, a tablet and a laptop. All three perform similar functions but provide vastly different experiences.
We’ve discussed the proper way to secure all your devices. So now we have a question for you: For mobile connections, do you use a tablet a mobile phone or both?
By answering this question in the comments below, you’ll be entered to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with F-Secure Mobile Security.
Just read the rules and post your answer in the comments below.

If I have the tablet around then the table it’s. But mostly, mobile connection is intended to be on the go, which means that there’s only my phone around. So, most of my mobile browsing is via the mobile phone.

I use a mobile phone, I have a tablet but don’t find the cost for internet to be a worthwhile investment on top of a phone plan.
I do not own a tablet, thus I use my mobile. Though I use it rarely as I have a very basic phone and you cannot properly surf with it. A couple of times per year only.
SURVEY COMPLETED
Currently I’m using only a mobile as I don’t own a Tablet yet! But at times tablet will be a very good option as it has many advantages compared to a mobile phone. Though smartphones can compete with the tablets with mobile connections, Tablets provide more options with better usability.

I use my smartphone and my PC pretty much equally in my spare time. When I do not have this spare time, my phone REALLY gets put to use. I usually come close to using up my 2GB of allotted data by the second week of the month.

I still live in the world of “dumb-phones” (and don’t own a tablet) so I have to say I use netiher a mobile phone or a tablet to go on the web. The phone has WAP capabilities but not using it for (I hope) obvious reasons (let aside screen-resolution).
But if I had both a smart phone and a tablet I probably would use both. The phone for quickly checking things if needed and not wanting to pull out a “big” tablet (if I even brought it with me). And the tablet for regular surfing when on the move (sitting on a bus, train, waiting in airports etc.) or slouching in the coutch.

My mobile connection is an awesome experience using both a tablet and a mobile phone. It’s a choice that I find it hard to take side since they each have an individual advantages. A convenient and easy to carry data’s at hand with a mobile phone while a larger screen, more applications and easy browsing which I can access through a tablet. It’s such a wonder that by using both a tablet and a mobile phone the potential to derive and share information’s are limitless in a wide array of areas including social networking, commerce, education, healthcare and a lot more. With the way i’m harnessing the capabilities which my mobile phone and my tablet provides, I can honestly say, it’s a safe and savvy, and secure way to bring out the best of my personal and professional life…

“SURVEY COMPLETED”
The affordability and coverage of mobile phone in our country (The Philippines) has increased its importance not just as a means of two way communication but that of ease-of -access to information as well, making it my preferred mobile connection. The use of mobile phone has made an impact in my rural living in various ways which include entrepreneurship and job search ( as it reduce the cost of running a business and in some cases, the technology could even enable a user to start one.) easy access to information, disaster relief (in cases of floods, typhoon, earthquake,. mobile phone could be used not just for enhancing business opportunities but also in keeping in touch with with one’s home community.) Education and health (I use my mobile phone to spread locally-generated and locally-educational and health information.)
In our rural community, access could mean real-time access to relevant content, created among the community and by the community to address pressing issues, perhaps initially education and health, but increasingly other social functions. Information could be shared between rural communities within the same area, and even globally, decreasing isolation, flattening the learning curve and removing the need to reinvent the wheel for every type of community initiative : from education, finance, health, micro work, private sector development and many other arenas.
The economic and social benefit of a mobile phone have made a great difference in our community and it is clear that the deployment of affordable mobile phone does have a multidimensional advantage on sustainable poverty reduction. It remains important to make the mobile phone as cheaply and widely accessible as possible.
