access Internet on their phones as compared to 53 percent in the U.S.

million smartphone users in U.S.

act as a pocket supercomputer as well and can do a lot more than to
just navigate through social networking pages," the survey said.

smartphone usages among men and women in India. Of the 56 percent usage
of internet through smartphones in India, 59 per cent are males and 48
per cent females. It further says smartphones are not just used for for
