A recent smartphone survey conducted by Prosper Mobile Insights finds that a majority of smartphone users are fully integrating their devices into every aspect of their daily lives.
According to the survey, 52.9% say they utilize all of the functions of their smartphones, 30.4% say they use the basic functions of their smartphones and 16.7% only use their smartphones for calling, texting and e-mailing. With all the unique features of smartphones, texting, Internet, and email are the top functions smartphone users say they cannot live without. Calling features, GPS, and Facebook are also necessities to some. With new technology, however, comes new concerns, and the top privacy issue among smartphone users is location tracking, followed closely by unauthorized access to personal information.
