Mobile device has become the generic term for tablets, smart phones and pocket PCs (for the few people who still own pocket PCs), but the functionality and capabilities of these devices differ and so does the types of content most accessed on them. A new research report looks at the type of device and the content consumers are most likely to use it for. Knowing this information can help you create strategies that will maximize your mobile offerings.
• 46% of tablet owners access books on their device, that is 4 times more than the amount of smart phone users that access books on those devices
• Over one in four tablet owners watch movies on their device compared to just 9% of smart phone owners
• 26% of those who have tablets use them to look at magazines, that over 4 times as many smart phone magazine readers
• A quarter of tablet owners watch TV shows on their tablets, just 10% of smart phone owners watch TV content on those devices
• Among iPad owners , users credit the device’s larger screen for its preference as a web and video viewing tool over the iPhone
• When it comes to social media and shopping functions, iPad owners are more likely to access this content via mobile web vs. app
