A Lot to Do With Timing
A lot of things concerning mobile devices and people has to do with timing. For many people, mobile devices are a dream that they are never expecting to see performed in their lifetimes, while some others are just itching for the chance to go ahead and use them.
In all cases though, introdcing mobie devices to any community is a matter of wisdom and timing. Wisdom in the sense that just because it is new, does not always make it the best thing to introduce. Sometimes, the best device to introduce would be an older one by your standards, but has just enough functinality to get them started. By introdcuing something too new, you can actuially hinder mobile device adoption because the functions are just too vast in many new devices.
But probbly more important than that is the timing. Some have been online for many years, have several email address, but if you introduce a mobile device to them out of season (think of the device introduction as being harvest time, but they are still in Spring sowing seeds of mobility) then you also risk lost of interest and lack of adoption.
Take your time when introducing mobile devices and mobile device features to those who do not have your entheusiam or expereince, and you will find that they will at some good season be willing to not only hear, but to jump into the fray with you.
