			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People listening to music on their smartphones are still relatively few, yet are quickly growing in numbers. Smartphone music listeners now represent 14% of online households.</p>
<p>Certainly the rise of Apple iPhone adoption has been a major factor, although isn&#8217;t the only one. The types of consumers who listen to music on their smartphones are unique.</p>
<p>The<strong> Smartphone Music Listeners Consumer Tech Index</strong> reveals who these music-loving consumers are, what else they are doing with their phones, computers, and other tech products, what&#8217;s being used, what it&#8217;s being used for, who is using it, and how many there are.</p>
<p>This Consumer Tech Index includes these key differentiators that set these particular music listeners apart:</p>
<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Mobile Phones</strong>: </strong></strong></strong>They are more active than average in using their smartphones. Smartphone or feature phone use, what they do with their phone, the brand and Smartphone operating system, and carrier.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Activities</strong>: </strong>Music is not their only unique use for their Smartphone, they are also above average in having many ways to use their PCs for fun, imaging, and communications.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Social Networking</strong>: </strong>How they use social networks and which ones they distinctively use, from Facebook to Google+</p>
<p><strong>PC</strong>: where else computers are used, how many leave home, the brands, form factor (tablet, netbook, notebook vs. desktop), and operating system</p>
<p><strong>Planned Purchases</strong>: The tech products they plan to buy</p>
<p><strong>Devices and Services</strong>: The other tech products they use and how they use them, from Game Consoles to PDAs, connectivity services, to eReaders</p>
<p><strong>Shopping Behavior</strong>: Where they shop online vs. retail, from Best Buy to WalMart</p>
<p><strong>Printing</strong>: The number of printers they use, how and what they print, and when they use special paper</p>
<p><strong>Personal Demographics</strong>: The key socioeconomigraphic characteristics that stand out, from age and gender to Employment status and the industry they work in</p>
<p><strong>Usage</strong>: Their profile of using PCs, Smartphones, and Basic Feature Phones</p>
<p><strong>Household Demographics</strong>: The makeup of their household including ages of children and household size</p>
<p><strong>Attitudes</strong>: How they feel about having newer vs. older tech products, plans to change carriers, and about tech complexity</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social networking is not very different than other forms of entertainment. When people feel the party&#8217;s over, they leave.</p>
<p>A key challenge for social networks &#8211; keeping a sense of vibrancy, freshness, and interest.</p>
<p>Whether due to the social networker&#8217;s choice of friends or the social network itself, a large number of people have been quitting out of boredom.</p>
<p>The <strong>Bored Social Network Quitters Consumer Tech Index</strong> reveals who these bored consumers are, what else they are doing with their computers and phones and other tech products, what&#8217;s being used, what it&#8217;s being used for, who is using it, and how many quitters there are.</p>
<p>This Consumer Tech Index includes these key differentiators that set these particular types of social network quitters apart:</p>
<p><strong>PC</strong>: where else computers are used, how many leave home, the brands, form factor (tablet, netbook, notebook vs. desktop), and operating system</p>
<p><strong>Activities</strong>: other handhelds they use, such as MP3 players, PDAs, and eBook readers, and what they do with them, from communication to fun, imaging to sharing</p>
<p><strong>Mobile Phones</strong>: Smartphone or feature phone use, what they do with their phone, the brand and Smartphone operating system, and carrier</p>
<p><strong>Planned Purchases</strong>: The tech products they plan to buy</p>
<p><strong>Devices and Services</strong>: The other tech products they use and how they use them, from Game Consoles to PDAs, connectivity services, to eReaders</p>
<p><strong>Shopping Behavior</strong>: Where they shop online vs. retail, from Best Buy to WalMart</p>
<p><strong>Printing</strong>: The number of printers they use, how and what they print, and when they use special paper</p>
<p><strong>Personal Demographics</strong>: The key socioeconomigraphic characteristics that stand out, from age and gender to Employment status and the industry they work in</p>
<p><strong>Usage</strong>: Their profile of using PCs, Smartphones, and Basic Feature Phones</p>
<p><strong>Social Networking</strong>: If still using some social network, how they use social networks and which ones they distinctively use, from Facebook to Google+</p>
<p><strong>Household Demographics</strong>: The makeup of their household including ages of children and household size</p>
<p><strong>Attitudes</strong>: How they feel about having newer vs. older tech products, plans to change carriers, and about tech complexity</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social networking is entering a new phase. Following rapid growth, privacy is now a growing concern for social networkers and non-networkers alike.</p>
<p>There have been many widely publicized breaches and gaffes, and this has been translated into action by some of the socially connected. Their action? To withdraw &#8211; disconnecting from at least one social network.</p>
<p>Although some of the tech and marketing press breathlessly focus on up-and-to-the-right growth and avoid or downplay issues that seem negative, the reality is consumers are wary, fickle, and fully at choice. Smart marketers know that any issues changing consumer behavior are not inherently negative or positive; instead they are important to fully understand.</p>
<p>The <strong>Privacy Conscious Social Network Quitters Consumer Tech Index</strong> reveals who these concerned consumers are, what else they are doing with their computers and phones and other tech products, what&#8217;s being used, what it&#8217;s being used for, who is using it, and how many quitters there are.</p>
<p>This Consumer Tech Index includes these key differentiators that set these particular types of social network quitters apart:</p>
<p><strong>PC</strong>: where else computers are used, how many leave home, the brands, form factor (tablet, netbook, notebook vs. desktop), and operating system</p>
<p><strong>Activities</strong>: other handhelds they use, such as MP3 players, PDAs, and eBook readers, and what they do with them, from communication to fun, imaging to sharing</p>
<p><strong>Mobile phones</strong>: Smartphone or feature phone use, what they do with their phone, the brand and Smartphone operating system, and carrier</p>
<p><strong>Planned purchases</strong>: The tech products they plan to buy</p>
<p><strong>Devices and Services</strong>: The other tech products they use and how they use them, from Game Consoles to PDAs, connectivity services, to eReaders</p>
<p><strong>Shopping Behavior</strong>: Where they shop online vs. retail, from Best Buy to WalMart</p>
<p><strong>Printing</strong>: The number of printers they use, how and what they print, and when they use special paper</p>
<p><strong>Personal Demographics</strong>: The key socioeconomigraphic characteristics that stand out, from age and gender to Employment status and the industry they work in</p>
<p><strong>Usage</strong>: Their profile of using PCs, Smartphones, and Basic Feature Phones</p>
<p><strong>Social Networking</strong>: If still using some social network, how they use social networks and which ones they distinctively use, from Facebook to Google+</p>
<p><strong>Household Demographics</strong>: The makeup of their household including ages of children and household size</p>
<p><strong>Attitudes</strong>: How they feel about having newer vs. older tech products, plans to change carriers, and about tech complexity</p>
<p>Note: the information within this Consumer Tech Index is gathered directly from consumers themselves with their full permission, as with all Consumer Tech Index.</p>

<p>Consumers planning to buy certain hot entertainment-oriented consumer electronics products and services are a unique group, and defined by much more than their demographics. We surveyed a large representative number of households about their upcoming purchase plans, along with a full range of their current tech products, behaviors, and attitudes.</p>
<p>For the <strong>Plan to Buy Entertainment Products and Services Consumer Tech Index</strong>, we zeroed in on those who were planning to buy any of the following: Video on Demand/Pay per View, Portable MP3 player (such as the Apple iPod or iPod Touch), to connect to TV through a settop box (like Roku), a DVR/digital video recorder, a personal video player. No single one of these products dominated their plans.</p>
<p>Those with these purchase plans represent 18.4% of all U.S. households, nearly one out of five.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People using <strong>eReaders</strong> are a unique group, and defined by much more than their demographics.</p>
<p>Those who use an eReader such as the Amazon Kindle, Barnes &amp; Noble Nook represent 11.4% of all U.S. households, close to one out of nine. As new versions are hitting the market, it&#8217;s likely that as many will go into existing households as will go into the hands of first-time users; the difference between an expanding market or a replacement market. Furthermore, consumers are choosing between eReaders and tablets, smartphones, and other devices, and this Consumer Tech Index reveals what consumers are doing.</p>
<p>The <strong>eReaders Consumer Tech Index</strong> reveals what is really happening now with consumers who have adopted eReaders, what&#8217;s other technology products are being used, what the eReader is being used for, where they shop (online vs. retail), their mobile phone profile, who is using it, and even the unique things they print.</p>
<p>This Consumer Tech Index includes these key differentiators that set eReaders users apart:</p>
<p><strong><strong>Activities:</strong> </strong>what they use their eReader for as well as the breadth of those activities, how they uniquely use PCs online, MP3 players, and PDAs. eBooks can be read on many devices, and this identifies the other devices users use.</p>
<p><strong>Devices and Services:</strong> The other tech products they use and how they use them, from Game Consoles to PDAs, connectivity services, to game consoles. This is important to know, because people can (and do) read books and magazines on other devices: from tablet PCs such as the iPad to smartphones.</p>
<p><strong>Shopping Behavior:</strong> Where they shop online vs. retail, from Best Buy to WalMart, Amazon to Barnes &amp; Noble (Retail, Online, or both)</p>
<p><strong>Mobile phones:</strong> Smartphone activities, the breadth of those activities, the Smartphone brand and operating system, and carrier</p>
<p><strong>Personal Demographics:</strong> The key socioeconomigraphic characteristics that stand out, from age and gender to Employment status and the industry they work in</p>
<p><strong>Printing:</strong> The number of printers they use, how and what they print, and when they use special paper</p>
<p><strong>PC:</strong> where computers are used, how many leave home, the brands, form factor (tablet, netbook, notebook vs. desktop), and operating system</p>
<p><strong>Usage:</strong> Their profile of using PCs, Smartphones, and Basic Feature Phones</p>
<p><strong>Social Networking:</strong> How they use social networks and which ones they distinctively use, from Facebook to Google+</p>
<p><strong>Attitudes:</strong>How they feel about having newer vs. older tech products, security, plans to change carriers, and about tech complexity</p>
<p><strong>Household Demographics:</strong> The makeup of their household including ages of children and household size</p>
<p><strong>Planned purchases:</strong> The tech products they plan to by, especially to help with mobility and to store and share files and documents</p>
