compared to 44% of U.S. respondents.
Overall, 33.6% of all adults in the U.S.

smartphones and the entire process of finding, purchasing and playing mobile
games becomes as simple as browsing the internet, the mobile games market is
going to accelerate even more." said Dennis Ryan, executive vice president
of worldwide publishing at PopCap — which says it derives nearly a third of
its revenues from sales of mobile games.
