Smartphones Consuming More Data Than Tablets for the First Time

For the first time, smartphones trump tablets when it comes to data consumption, a new study reveals.
Conducted by mobile analytics firm Arieso, the report suggests that smartphone users now "consistently consume" more mobile data than tablet users despite the latter's market expansion.

At the top of the list are iPhone 5 owners — the "hungriest" data consumers — who demand 50% more than iPhone 4S users and four times as much as iPhone 3G users.

Overall, mobile data consumption is skyrocketing, pushed by "new devices and richer content," according to a release.

"Extreme users are beginning to move to new LTE networks, but there is not let up on existing networks."

Google to co-brand 10-inch Nexus tablet with Samsung

A Google Nexus 10-inch class tablet is in the works, CNET has learned.

The 10.1-inch tablet will boast a pixel density that is higher than Apple's third-generation iPad, said Richard Shim, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch.

The 2,560x1,600 display will have a PPI (pixels per inch) of about 299, said Shim. That tops the 264 PPI on the 9.7-inch 2,048x1,536 Retina iPad.

"It's going to be a high-end device," Shim said -- in contrast with Google's $199 Nexus 7 and upcoming $99 tablet.

But probably the biggest news is the partnership with Samsung. "They'll partner with Samsung and cobrand it with Samsung," Shim said.

To date, Google has partnered with Asus on the Nexus 7 tablet.
