iPhone Owners Big Users of Web Mobile
Use of the mobile Internet may be in its infancy, but one group is embracing the technology in a big way, according to a figures released Tuesday.
Eighty-five percent of iPhone owners searched the Web for news and information using their slick phones in January, making the device the most popular for accessing online information while on the go, according to M:Metrics. “The iPhone has certainly delivered on its hype,” Mark Donovan, senior analyst for M:Metrics, said while releasing the figures. “Beyond a doubt, this device is compelling consumers to interact with the mobile Web, delivering off-the-charts usage from everything to text messaging to mobile video.”
If that’s not enough, 30.9% of iPhone owners watched television or video on their devices, according to M:Metrics’ January survey. That compares with a 4.6% market average. More than 74% listen to music, while the market average for listening to music from mobile subscribers is at a paltry 6.7%, the company said. And 84% of iPhone owners who use an MP3 player use iPods, according to the survey.
