We haven’t actually seen the details of it since a first look was given exclusively to the New York Times, but there’s a new Compete report coming out supposedly later today that claims only 27% of iPhone owners primarily use their device primarily for work-related needs compared to 59% of owners with other types of smartphones (HTC, Blackberry, Nokia, etc.).
The NY Times reporter didn’t detail where these stats are coming from and how Compete reached their conclusions exactly apart from saying ’smartphone users were surveyed’, but I consider the article’s headline (”Apple iPhone Owners Don’t Use It For Work”) to be quite misleading either way you spin it. If you have a Web-capable phone, you are going to use it for both work and play. Or does every person with a job who owns an iPhone also keep a Blackberry handy to whip out for work-related tasks (besides Erick)?
