Basically, they interviewed 199 people in Japan who use their mobile device to access video sites. The most popular mobile video site by far was MyTube, a .mobi site. 40.7% of them have used it.

That looks like Japanese to me.

I heard that, in Japan, 60% of mobile device users no longer own a PC - they do all their internet activity on their mobile device.

If true, it means Japan has a very advanced mobile delivery system - affordable mobile plans, efficient wireless delivery systems etc...


It would also mean that the mobile web will be virtually the ONLY future for us all, when our western telco's/wireless providers etc get their act together...


Can anyone confirm if this 60% statistic is accurate for Japan?

Yeah, for us non-Japanese-readers a little more meat from the article would be appreciated. Thanks for the article nonetheless.

I scrolled down the page and saw the graph that showed "mytube" at 40% of something. Sure are lots of "??????" ... "??????" ... that I can't possibly interpret.

It might be that 60% of them use their mobile device more frequently to surf the net than they do on PC.

Your browser isn't set to read Japanese. The rest of the statistics aren't too interesting. This one might be a little useful: 57.6% of the 345 people they interviewed have used their mobile device to access video sites. Of that 57.6%, 69.3% of them said that they watch music related videos on their mobile device.
