Average Cellphone Data Usage Is 145.8 MB Per Month

destinyland writes "For the first time, the majority of cell phones are accessing data services — 53 percent, compared to only 42 percent last year, according to a new study by Validas. And each user downloads an average of 145.8 MB per month (the average was just 96.8 MB per month in 2009). The heaviest users are Verizon smartphone owners, averaging 428 MB per month (338 MB on average for iPhone users). In fact, Verizon users were twice as likely as iPhone users to exceed both 500 MB and 2 GB each month."

To simply claim that this huge difference in statistics has everything to do with the utterly lame idea that is the "typical Apple #%@&! user" is complete, narrowminded idiocy.
