From the article: "tablets connected to 3G and 4G networks consume a lot more
data than their smartphone equivalents. However, on Tuesday video optimization
vendor Bytemobile reported exactly how much:
tablets eat up three times more data than smartphones over the cellular
network.
Bytemobile, which collects anonymous data from the 130 global carriers that
use its optimization products, also found that tablet users tend to have much
more involved Internet sessions. In the second quarter, the typical iPad
session spanned 33 different Web pages, while on iPhone that number was 20 Web
pages. Tablet users also seemed to be more engaged in the sites they did visit,
possibly through viewing richer media or more direct interaction with site
features. Bytemobile said the typical iPad session consumed 160 percent more
data than an iPhone session." Read more
