Democrats Prefer iPhones & Blackberry - Republicans Prefer Android Phones

New York, NY - Aug 6th 2011 - Democrats Prefer iPhones & Blackberry - Republicans Prefer Android Phones.

A recent study made by JumpTab showed the States where particular devices over-indexed each other. For example it turned out that iPhone users tend to be the majority in NorthEast states whereas the Android platform is more dominant in the South and South West. Also Blackberry showed some resilience in particular stronghold States, like New York and Oregon.

Our 1800Mobiles editors thought to cross reference the 2008 Presidential election map with the JumpTab map to show if there was any trend between political preference and the phones we use. Take it with the grain of salt, but it turns out the there is an overwhelming advantage for Democrats when it comes to the number of States where iPhones are the leading devices. A slight majority of States that went to Obama also prefer Blackberry phones. Android leading States saw a Republican advantage.

Now we know what you're thinking, especially in light of the recent debt deal negotiations: "If Android smartphones are for the most part free with new activation, while iPhones are still hundreds of dollars, what does that tell you about Democrats and overspending?"

Notes: certain states had no clear predominant device and the 2011 electoral map may be quite different from the 2008.
