Study: iPad users spend more time consuming news than iPhone users

By Chris Hogg

A study released today from Nielsen shows news and music are the most popular types of content consumed on the iPad. According to the study of “internet connected devices,” users spend ore time per session with news and music than users on the iPhone.

The survey of 5,000 consumers who own a tablet, eReader, netbook, media/games player or smartphone indicated 44 percent of iPad users say they access news content regularly. That is just behind the 53 percent who consume news regularly on their iPhone.

That said, it appears as though iPad users spend more time consuming news; the survey showed 26 percent of iPad users spend 31 minutes or more per weekday session consuming news, while only 7 percent of iPhone users  spend the same amount of time consuming news.

Some other key findings include:

• iPad users are younger, and mostly male compared to other connected devices; 65 percent are male and 65 percent are under 35 years of age (Kindle users are 52 percent male, with 47 percent being under 35, according to Nielsen).
• 46 percent of tablet users allow others to use their devices (only one-third of smartphone and eReader users do the same)

More people watch video and read magazines on the iPad compared to the iPhone:

iPad users are also more receptive to advertising and more likely to make a purchase:

  I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout
  of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
  But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
  so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful
  lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
  Maybe you could space it out better?

  Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you be familiar with after that you can write
  otherwise it is complicated to write.
