Report Reveals How Consumers Use Mobile Phones Worldwide

In a new report entitled "The Mobile Consumer: A Global Snapshot," research company Nielsen looked at consumer behavior, device preference and usage in 10 different countries, including the U.S., UK, Australia, China, India and South Korea. [via Mashable]

Nielsen concluded that "usage differs significantly by market and demographic groups."
