Half of UK's mobiles 'go online'

Multimedia mobile phones are finally showing signs of taking off, with more Britons using them to go online, according to the BBC.

"Figures from industry monitor, the Mobile Data Association (MDA), show the number of phones with GPRS and MMS technology has doubled since last year.

GPRS lets people browse the web, access news services, mobile music and other applications like mobile chat.

By the end of 2005, the MDA predicts that 75% of all mobiles in the UK will be able to access the net via GPRS."
