Communications Story

There was an interesting short piece on N-TV news this morning....chatting over consumer use of smart-phones in Germany.

Only 48-percent of Germans use a smart-phone or cell-phone....purely for phone purposes (not for a camera function, or text-sharing, or viewing videos).  If you walk into an electronic shop like MediaMarkt or Saturn....the old style handys still sell well (you know the cheapo 20 Euro type with no real functionality beyond phone capability). 

The most commonly used App?  The WhatsApp chat software.  Roughly 96-percent of Germans who use the phone for other purposes beyond phone calls....were using WhatsApp.
