^aThere were 119 respondents who failed to report device use and 36 respondents indicated they used both a PDA and Tablet PC. **97 respondents indicated they never used a mobile device during the study. So we did not count them as the participants of this study.
^bFor these 97 respondents, their responses were not included in the Chi-square analysis because it was not possible to determine which type of device they had been provided.
