Even though smartphones are growing ever more popular and ubiquitous, the amount of time users are watching video on their connected mobile devices is not keeping pace.
Research firm The NPD Group has released a report showing that the average smartphone user devoted only 6.9 minutes each day to watching video in the month of August.

While that number is a sharp increase from the same period in 2011, it doesn’t compare with the amount of time smartphone users spent on games, social networking, and music.
Linda Barrabee, research director with NPD Connected Intelligence, believes that current levels of mobile video consumption will most likely rise.

Said Barrabee:
“We expect usage to increase in step with 4G networks and devices, better form factors (larger screens), and more compelling apps,”
How does your mobile video consumption compare to these finding, Insiders? Is the screen of the average smartphone just too small to enjoy watching movies, TV shows, etc.?

Screen is just too small and unless you get a high end 4G connection you’re not going to get a high quality picture like I can on my ipad.
Screen’s too small, attention span’s too short and data caps are a killer.
Screen is way to small
Small screen, 3G, Caps – video watching not a good fit for me.
Data usage on Verizon too much to watch anything!
It’s a phone! Not a television. Greedy cell phone companies.
Who in the world wants to watch a 2 hour movie holding up a phone with a 4 inch screen and terrible speakers?
Forgetting the screen size issue, with data plan caps and throttling, most people could watch 1, maybe 2 films a month before they expend their data plans limits (Along with their standard smartphone usage). Meanwhile, if you are on Wi-fi, you are probably at home (and have access to a bigger screen) or at the office (where watching movies is likely discouraged).
