CIOInsight: A new study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that 35 percent of all Americans now own a smartphone. Unsurprisingly, smartphone ownership is more common among younger people. In fact, the majority (58 percent) of people aged 25-34 owned a smartphone, while only 11 percent of those 65 or older did so.
Among smartphone owners, the breakdown by platform was as follows:
- 35 percent Android
- 24 percent iPhone
- 24 percent BlackBerry
- 4 percent Windows
- 6 percent Palm
