iPhone users ten times as likely to play games vs other mobiles
A report detailing handheld gaming adoption by mobile phone users says that downloads of mobile games are up 17% over last year, and that iPhone users are nearly ten times as likely to have downloaded games compared to other mobile phone users.
ComScore's report, cited by InformationWeek, said that just 3.8% of mobile subscribers have downloaded a game to their mobile phone, compared to 32.4% of iPhone users.
The figures aren't much of a surprise given the poor models for mobile phone software stores set up by Apple's rivals, in contrast to the very easy to use iPhone App Store integrated into iTunes and installed directly on the iPhone and the iPod touch for over-the-air mobile application shopping.
