"REALTORS® are one of the single largest mobile sales forces in the U.S. Many have pioneered the use of wireless technologies including the cellular phone, the hand-held PalmPilot, the laptop computer, and other wireless modem devices. But REALTORS® are in a race to keep up with and to serve consumers, says Jonathan Greenblatt, director of product management for Homestore.

"The growth of wireless Internet access is happening faster than wired line access. Sales of non-PC Internet devices are outpacing the sales of PCs in U.S.," he says.

According to the e-Business Unit (EBU) of Cap Gemini America and Corechange, Inc., the number of people using cell phones for wireless data applications is expected to increase from the current three percent to an estimated 78 percent in the next 12 months.

Moreover, one-third of the U.S. population uses cell phones for business purposes, to send and receive email or business and personal information. Of this group, only 11 percent are currently using them for data applications, representing merely three percent of the entire population.
