Smartphones -the ultimate high-end mobile phone; if you don't already own one, it has to be top of your wish list but have you ever wondered exactly what people do with their Smartphones? Well, quite a lot and maybe not what you would have expected. So, what do people do with their Smartphones?
The Smartphone; a device that lets you make telephone calls, manage your life and so much more! You can also send and receive emails using its QWERTY keyboard, edit Office documents, access the Web and so on and it doesn't stop there. As well as being a great work tool, it can play videos, play music, entertain you. So are consumers using their Smartphones for far more than simply keeping in touch?
A study conducted in the US and the UK tracked people on their Smartphones to see exactly what they were really using them for. Results showed that whilst half of their time was spent keeping in touch via the usual text, email and phone calls, at least 12% spent their time browsing the net.
For 4,000 users studied in the US, game playing was top of the list, according to the Nielsen Company with Maps and Weather coming in next on the list. Social networking on the Smartphone was a fourth placed activity. For those 4,000 users, communication, surprisingly came near the bottom of the list.
A small portion of users did spend time on more serious matters like reading PDF files and writing documents or looking at maps but this amounted for a mere 2%. Movies or banking, emails or online gaming, whatever their usage, these Smartphone owners never leave home without them!
