Is the usage of mobile project management tools influenced by national culture?

Hi all,
Due to my background in the mobile phones industry and work abroad in different cultures I am currently researching the usage of mobile phone based project management tools and the influence of national culture on tool usage (focus is German and Chinese culture, but others might be added and discussed, too). Therefore I am planning to have several rounds of open surveys as well as expert discussion (probably in form of a DELPHI study).
A few questions arose upfront: 1. Is there any interest in the PM community? 2. Would there be volunteers to provide expert judgement? 3. Would there be volunteers whom could share their experience (be it tools or culture related). 4. What SW tool are you using for mobile project management?
I am in the early stages and still gathering information, hence any feedback will be highly appreciated!
Best regards Nico

I agree with Ruyadh that while one does not want to be tied their mobile devices all the time, for me, a tablet dashboard tool would be welcomed especially when traveling or meetings with stakeholders. Saving Changes...

Sometimes it's even influenced by Works Councils.... Saving Changes...
