More Israelis own smartphones than any other nation except Britain, according to a new survey.
Fifty seven per cent of Israel's population have access to a smartphone. In Britain the figure is 62 per cent, compared to 42 per cent in France and 40 per cent of Germans.
The survey, conducted by Google and Ipsos MediaCT, questioned 1,000 smartphone users aged between 18 and 64 in dozens of countries.
The results show that, though smartphones entered the Israeli market late, only in 2009 (compared with the worldwide launch in 2007), Israel is a world leader in using them.
