been wondering most people use PC more or smartphone now days?

Hey Coach,

I can't dispute the accuracy of the numbers in that article, but I find the author's representation of those facts, and the conclusions drawn - to be highly suspect.

It's no big surprise, as I wouldn't really expect a journalist to be able to digest statistical information and then report on it - especially when presenting statistics 1) that are from multiple sources, and 2) that are survey based.

She has simply aggregated the findings of multiple marketing research firms - each of which had their own reasons for collecting the data, their own source of information, and their own methods for collecting the data.

THEN...
she presumed to be able to interpret those separate findings.

Just take a look at comscore chart she published at the beginning of the article. Notice that it is mobile App usage that has surpassed desktop usage. Mobile browser usage is still shown to be fairly negligible.

I think it is also significant that the chart represents "time spent with the internet, by device".

Other than the fact that they have separated app usage from browser usage, there is nothing to indicate for what purpose mobile devices are being used.

Personally, I use the Google maps app for navigation to unknown locations, a white pages app for finding phone numbers, and a weather app for checking the local weekly forecast. I'm sure those accesses add up, but individually they would likely be counted as a "bounce" compared to the amount of time I spend on a given web page from my desktop.

As for browser usage, well... I check my own domains to verify mobile friendliness - LOL

Personally, I think that mobile browser usage is the segment that should be watched by most marketers,
unless/until they have their own mobile app with sufficient users (subscription), and either good monetization of that app and/or good integration with their domain (to draw the app visitor over to their site).

Some would argue that this all indicates an urgent need to create your own app and get it published to the apple/google app stores. I think it is already an over-crowded space, and a highly competitive arena in which to try to get your app downloaded. Getting an app downloaded requires a truly useful app - not just a free ebook incentive.

I agree that there is a trend toward increased usage of mobile devices, but that doesn't mean that there is a migration from desktop to mobile. I think the growth in mobile usage primarily represents an overall growth in internet usage (it's "extra") - rather than a shift from one method of access to another.

If not mistaken

now even google adsense give more earning for those visitors surf from their smartphone or tablets.

I still remember one chap here show just one click from tablet from the visitors
is = t0 many clicks from PC.

I find myself using my smartphone to browse content over the web more often than my PC. However, one of the main issues that I have experience with viewing content on my smartphone is that some of the websites out there have not been optimized to be viewed on a smartphone device. One would think given the mobility and popularity of smart phone devices that it would be good for business to ensure that the content on these websites are user-friendly for mobile users.

hmm what I bring out this question because I have been seeming most people now a days using mobile phones to check out website.

I happen to saw few times , yes I peek a bit to see what they see
they are in fact browsing online store to see clothes ..usually girls I noticed but also guys too but rare.

but one common place they will go Facebook .

I here all the talk of mobile and tablets being the most popular. I have PC, Macbook, Galaxy Note and I Phone 5S.

The best for browsing and general internet function is the Macbook by a long way.

Tablets are better than I Phone but still very cumbersome in how they operate online and with a screen that is just a bit too small.

Using the internet on the i phone is horrible. The i phone is ok for reading email, social media and news sites BRIEFLY on the go. The best function for me on I phone is the camera which has amazing quality.

The PC is great for working on docs etc but ties you to one location. The PC is also not as good online as the Macbook. The PC hangs gets virus and is generally a lot slower than the macbook.

Buy a Macbook, if you are in market for laptop.

I stick with PC for desktop as that is mainly a machine or producing stuff like docs or power point. Though if cash was not problem I would buy a I mac as well as a decent PC.

Don't buy all in one PC they are crap, buy a separate tower. You get much more for your money and it is expandable and you can upgrade parts.

I agree I would never push any buy button on the smart phone. I just don't trust it and you can't compare things so easily.

Just a quick additional thought...

not directed at maxweb (and probably a little off topic) - apologies in advance.
You left out laptops.

I got my first laptop over 20 years ago and haven't even owned a desktop in almost 15 years now.
No need.

With the laptop, I have been able to take my home office with me and never have to "sync" my travel machine with my office machine (or vice versa). They are the same machine.

I got a tablet for Christmas. It gets to travel with me, too - but it stays in the computer bag. Other than initially booting it up 6 months ago, to see what it could/would do... it hasn't been powered on since.

I don't feel the need to conduct online business in a cab, or while using public transportation. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't conduct business at all. She doesn't use her tablet either and our computer bags (hers is red) are the last things we pack before heading out the door on a trip. In fact, I've taken trips without a change of underwear - but the laptop still goes with me.

Bigger than a breadbox, but smaller than a desktop
