U.S. Android users rely on carrier's 3G network to view 72% of their mobile video
Share:
Some other interesting statistics gleaned from Rhythm NewMedia's Q2 report include the fact that because smartphones are carried throughout the day, there is no evening "Prime Time" like there is when television viewers flock to their sets after dinner.The ad network says that the number of people in the U.S. viewing mobile video content will grow 30% in 2010 as more and more Americans become smartphone owners with the capability of viewing many different applications with video content.

It's not even about Android vs iPhone at this point it's about AT&T vs Verizon...

Even though you rely more on your slow and obsolete network I get more done with faster conection plus I do voice and data and the same time, and don't bother to answer me back with the same old bullshit that fanboys like you always say " nobody need talk and data at the same time " blahblahblah you simple CAN'T DO THAT period, when slow-rizon turn LTE you will have a taste what we've done for years....!!!!

I have a Hero on Sprint, and my wife just got the iPhone 4 on AT&T. I will say that it's cool that she can talk on the phone and use data at the same time, but that's not what this article is about. This is about video. And while my wife enjoys the ability to watch of high quality videos on her phone (youtube only!), while we are out and about, she's jealous that I can watch videos (a lot more videos than her because of FLASH!!!) whenever and wherever I want. She's limited to wi-fi because she doesn't want to go over her 200MB limit!

Actually if you are surfing over WiFi, you can talk and use the internet at the same time, so perhaps a little research on your end is needed. And more to the point, the article demonstrates why WiFi is an absolute necessity for ATT customers and why its not for Verizon customers. So rather than be obnoxious, try making a valid point.

You have a point fanboy slow-rizon customers are not used to surf and talk at the same time cuz they are so obsolete like their network, you guys one day realize that there's a whole different world outside of bubba trailer park...and i don't rely on wifi when am on the road cuz not every place has an open wifi so I use AT&T faster conection simple...!!!!

its about ATT vs every other carrier. and BTW to fanboykiller.. i can surf and talk on the phone whenever i want. ATT isnt the only company that can do that, ya know. OI. I still NEVER use that feature because its nothing more than a sad fanboy bulletpoint. Oh yea, and Tmobile is 3x faster than ATTs fastest speed, its way cheaper, and i very rarely connect to wifi for anything. LOL

Honestly, how often do you use this feature of GSM? Are your friends THAT boring that you can't stand paying attention to them?

It's a matter of choice. I'd rather be 5 seconds slower on Verizon and be covered everywhere than be 5 seconds faster and have to be up a tree with my foot at an angle to get reception. Nothing is more annoying than calls being dropped all the time. My friend has ATT and we haven't had a conversation that wasn't dropped, and it was not on my end. Still awaiting a useful contribution. Unless you just like insulting networks that are better than the one you've got. I had ATT...that's why I'm with Verizon now. Like trying to make a call with a brick.

That's the argument from every single fanboy making sound any other network like unable to make calls, is so dumb and retarded, seriously slow-rizon got what it deserves in all of you......that's why Europeans and Japanese laugh so hard to Americans when it comes to cell tech.......!!!!

If you are a so called fanboy killer, find the nearest bus and jump in front of it. Your rhetoric is not only assinine but heavily biased.

You're so wrong, only one network use CDMA, the others uses W-CDMA wich is GSM based and totally different unlike many other moron fanboys who claim it is the same core...!!!!

Wen i used wifi on my DROID X, it is way faster than the 3G network. Im not sure if this matters but when i did my own speed test (wifi on DROID X and IPod) my DROID X killed the ipod so many times!
