What Americans use their smartphones for

A study from Pew Research reveals that although most Americans have smartphones
many don’t use it for Internet.

Here’s the breakdown of what most smartphone owners in the US do with their device:

  • 54% have used their mobile device to send someone a photo or video
  • 23% have accessed a social networking site using their phone
  • 20% have used their phone to watch a video
  • 11% have purchased a product using their phone
  • 11% have made a charitable donation by text message
  • 10% have used their mobile phone to access a status update service such as Twitter

Alarmingly only 10% of smartphone owners use their device to tweet.

How about us Malaysians? What do you use your smartphone for?
