Android vs. iPhone: War on smart device

Android vs. iPhone: The Mobile Web

Our first measure of advanced functionality is the mobile Web. Both the iPhone and the Android platform are designed for easy Internet browsing -- so which platform's users are most likely to take advantage of the InterWebbial SuperSpeedway?

Turns out it's Android's. According to owners of Android phones are the most likely to use their device's Internet functionality. Ninety-two percent of Androiders say they take utilize their phone's Web connection, compared to 88 percent of iPhone owners. Both devices are well above the curve for smartphone owners in general, however, where the overall Net-using percentage is only 71.

Android vs. iPhone: Social Activity

If Android owners are slightly more Web-enabled, iPhone fans are slightly more social. iPhone users come out on top when it comes to most advanced social-oriented phone activities -- everything from sharing photos to spending time on social networks and blogs.

Android vs. iPhone: Mobile Apps

How about them apps? This one may be a bit surprising -- after all, you'd expect to see iPhone owners using apps more often, given the 100,000 options at their fingertips. Android owners, however, come out just barely ahead in the relative realm of application usage: Seventy-six percent of them say they utilize apps, while 74 percent of iPhone owners say they make use of their mobile programs.
