The latest Simmons Connect panel from Experian Marketing Services has shown that the average smartphone user in the USA spends 58 minutes on their device every day. Just over a quarter of this time (26%) is spent talking and another 20% sending text messages.

Next comes social networking at 16%, followed by mobile web browsing (14%), email (9%) and playing games (8%).

US-based adults with an Apple iPhone used their devices for an average 75 minutes per day, while the average Android owner only used their handset for 49 minutes. The study also noted that Android users spent more time talking and browsing the web than iPhone users, whilst iPhone users spent more time texting, emailing and social networking than Android users.

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.
