85% of Smartphone Users Access Mobile Web

There aren't yet any apps, aside from specific "mobile apps" or "social apps," that people access more on a smartphone than on a PC, a survey by Yankee Group has found. But researchers also find that use of smartphones to access web apps of all sorts is growing, and that most popular apps people like to use on their PCs also get used from their smartphones, though at a lower frequency, so far.

GPS and navigation apps likely are one clear exception, likely used virtually exclusively in a mobile context.

Most likely, we will relatively soon find there are some apps that are used primarily from a smartphone or other mobile device, compared to a PC. Mobile payment apps come to mind.
