A recent survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, was their 70th regular real-time mobile users survey, with the focus on mobile shopping.
Demographics
Between the 20th and 30th of May 2011 1,100 mobile phone-using members of the goo Research monitor pool completed a mobile phone-based questionnaire. 60.7% of the sample were female, 4.7% in their teens, 26.6% in their twenties, 35.0% in their thirties, 25.5% in their forties, and 8.3% aged fifty or older.
A little apology for being a bit quiet for the last few days, but I’m currently in Germany at a rather busy conference. Normal service should be resumed next week!
