Abstract

Malaysia is one of the countries seeing tremendous growth in technology development. This paper analyses the factors that influence user intention to use Wireless Internet-using Mobile Devices (WIMDs) in Malaysia. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for WIMDs is one of the most suitable models available to study WIMD adoption. The study was conducted among Malaysian mobile phone and internet users. The findings showed that facilitating conditions and wireless trust has a positive impact on the attitude to use WIMDs via perceived usefulness and ease of use.
