For all the glitz and glamour of owning the newest, most trendy Web-enabled smartphone, it's humble Internet search that makes up the most popular activity among users.

According to the Kelsey Group's the second annual study on mobile device use, more mobile users than ever have Internet-enabled smartphones -- and are using them more often to search for product information and local maps and directions.

The study found that that 18.9 percent of mobile consumers use a smartphone, and among those surveyed, 49.2 percent plan to purchase a new, advanced mobile device within the next two years. It also concluded that the percentage of smartphone users who are accessing Web sites grew 20 percent from 2007 -- from 32.4 percent of smartphone users to 38.9 percent.
