In the quest to find out who is the most prolific mobile content consumer between the two sexes, females win by a landslide, according to Myxer\u2019s latest BoomBox report for the month of April. In honor of Mother\u2019s Day, Myxer \u2013 a mobile community of more than 34 million users – has taken a deep dive into how female consumption habits compare to males, providing fresh insights on unique data broken down by new users, smartphone concentration, content downloads and wireless carriers. <\/p>\n According to the study, for the month of April women downloaded twice the amount of mobile entertainment content as men, representative of 4.5 million downloads, or 67% of total content downloads, compared to 2.2 million downloads for men. This large disparity in downloads is due to two factors; there are roughly 1.7 times as many females as males downloading content from Myxer on a monthly basis, and each female that visits downloads 17% more content than the average male. <\/p>\n Android vs. iPhone: Average Download by Gender<\/em> Smartphone Breakdown by Gender<\/em> Gender Breakdown by Wireless Carrier <\/em> \u201cLooking at the gender breakdown across the more than 34 million users on Myxer\u2019s platform, it\u2019s apparent that female users are the ones driving mobile content downloads,\u201d said Myk Willis, CEO of Myxer. \u201cThis information paints a powerful picture of today\u2019s evolving mobile landscape, and with Mother\u2019s Day right around the corner, our latest BoomBox report shows developing trends that marketers and advertisers can use when fine-tuning their mobile business strategies.\u201d <\/p>\n Since 2005 Myxer has cataloged various data points: age, gender, geographic location, phone model, manufacturer, carrier, as well as the operating system of each handset that initiated a download from its delivery platform that now supports more than seven million monthly unique visitors downloading over 90 million content items from Myxer each month.<\/p>\n # # #<\/p>\n About Myxer<\/strong> Females Continue Dominance on Mobile, Account for 67% of Downloads Across Myxer Platform for the Month of April Miami, FL (May 7, 2010) \u2013 Female mobile users unite!
