Mobile Phone Peer-to-Peer Social Networking Study

Thank you for volunteering to participate in this survey. There are ONLY 20 QUESTIONS. Participation is entirely ANONYMOUS. We are conducting the survey to determine the level of interest of Stony Brook University students in participating in a future mobile phone study. The goal of such a study would be to develop phone-to-phone social networking applications. If launched, you may qualify as participant, possibly receiving a FREE iPHONE.
