Do you understand your smartphone… really understand it? Know its moods, its wants, its desires? A survey hosted by Best Buy Mobile shows that half of people don’t, with 47 percent saying the things confuse the heck out of them, while 60 percent of those aged 35 – 49 feel that people with smartphones spend too much time working and not enough time playing Wii Sports Bowling. Those feelings of confusion and ire doesn’t stop a “sizable segment” of the rest of the 1,000 people surveyed from wanting a handset with brains, with most desiring access to the sort of apps you can’t get on dumbphones, and 14 percent of women saying that playing games was “very important” — only nine percent of men said the same. Sadly, there was no figure indicating how many people enjoy paying too much for text messages and signing their lives away on lengthy contracts.
