Checkbox The results from last month’s survey from Bplay have been culled, revealing that 90% of respondents were unlikely to switch to a non-smartphone for entertainment “citing the better image quality, larger screen size, easier controls and easier product downloading all as important factors”. Not a huge surprise, right? Well, how about the part where 51% claimed they played more games on their BlackBerry than on any other platform? That figure rose to 60% when looking at just women, too. In terms of purchase frequency, 65% bought at least one product every three months, favouring puzzle games to play during lunch hours. Pretty interesting results all around, and a good way to represent the mobile front at the Games Developer Conference this year.
