Is the iPhone more web-friendly than other web-enabled cell phones, or are iPhone users just more web-savvy?

Either way, with a new shopper poll showing that iPhone owners use the devices for more online activities than do owners of other web-enabled cell phones, the success of Apple Inc.’s mobile phone could prove to be one more factor nudging more consumers toward m-commerce.

A survey by Viewpoints.com, a rating and review site, found 48% of iPhone users frequently use their iPhones to look up specific information online, compared with 5% of other cell phone users. And 45% of iPhone owners frequently use their phones to browse online, compared with only 6% of users of other brands of cell phones.
