While the desktop PC may still have the greatest reach among US web users, time spent accessing the internet via mobile has surpassed time spent on the PC, according to research from mobile ad network Jumptap and comScore. This is in keeping with eMarketer’s findings, which estimate that this year, for the first time, time spent on nonvoice mobile activities will surpass time spent online on desktops and laptops.
comScore and Jumptap found that in April 2013, time spent accessing the web on smartphones and tablets surpassed time spent online on the PC by 2 percentage points. The amount of time women 25 to 49 years old spent on the smartphone and tablet was particularly notable, reaching above 60%, while for men in that age range, the PC remained the platform where they spent more than half their online time.
