Last week, comScore shared some interesting information about mobile behaviors in Canada. This coincided with comScores launch of their mobile measuring product, comScore MobiLens in Canada. This product presents a leading view on the Canadian mobile media landscape (as well as US, European and Japanese landscapes).
Some of the findings specific to the Canadian market included:
- in March 2011, 40.6 percent of mobile users in Canada used an application on their mobile device
- 32.7 percent used a mobile browser
- 35.2 percent of the mobile audience leveraged mobile to access news and information
- 25.4 percent of the audience used mobile to access social environments or blogs
- 64.5 percent sent text messages while 48.9 percent used their phone to snap a picture
It also looks like there are more Blackberry subscribers/users than iPhone subscribers/users as Research in Motion (RIM) has a 42% share of Smartphone subscribers. Apple is second with 31%.
