Beijing time, September 15 morning news, according to foreign media reports, the latest release of the United States Research Center for the Study of the Pew Institute, the report shows that ordinary American mobile phone users are more likely to use mobile phones to take photos and text messages, rather than using applications.　　The report shows that 11% of mobile phone users do not know whether their mobile phones can be used, most of the 11% are elderly.　　The research center found that among adults in the United States, using mobile phones is far less than other uses of mobile phones.　　According to the report, 76% of mobile phone users use mobile phones to take photos, 72% of users send and receive text messages, while only 38% of mobile phone users use their mobile phones to surf the internet.　　34% of users use their mobile phones to play games, send emails or record videos, and use their mobile phones to play music at a rate of 33%.　　According to the report, 29% of U.S. mobile phone users have downloaded mobile apps, 13% of which have been paid to download apps. Kristen Purcell, deputy director of research at the Pew Joint Center, said, "Mobile apps culture is Kristen Bassel in some mobile phone users, especially between men and young people." "But obviously it's just in the early stages, because a lot of users don't know their phones can be downloaded," says Basel. "The app market seems to be ahead of most adult mobile users." Roger Entner, head of the Nielsen Telecommunications Research Department, is one of the authors of the report, Rogge Entena said, "surveys show that a wide variety of applications are being welcomed by more and more people." "This is an example of the great new technology being adopted, knowing that two years ago there was not even any application culture."　　"Entner said.　　The Nielsen survey shows that games are the most popular apps, followed by music, food and entertainment, news and weather, social networks and maps and navigation. Apple's App Store is the largest store in the app market, but other handset makers have also launched app stores on their phones.　　The App Store now has 250,000 iphone, ipod Touch and ipad apps.　　Of the mobile phone users who use the app, the average user has 18 applications on the phone, and most of the users are well-educated and wealthier young men.　　The survey showed that men accounted for 57% of American adults, compared with 43% for women.　　The 18-29-year-old population accounts for only 23% of the American population, but accounts for 44% of the users of the application.　　Elderly people aged 50 and older account for 41% of the total population of the United States, but only 14% of them are mobile application users. Female users are more likely than men to use social networking applications in the past 30 days, compared with 53% for men and 42% for males.　　Men are more likely to use finance or financial applications, with a ratio of 31% for men and 25% for women.
