68% of Americans have smartphones while 45% have tablet computers.
Other key findings of the report break down the results:
73 percent of U.S. adults own a desktop or laptop computer, a figure that is similar to the 71 percent of those who owned a computer or laptop in 2004 and down somewhat from a high of 80 percent in 2012.
40 percent of adults report having a gaming console — a number that has not budged in five years.
40 percent of adults own an MP3 player, down from the high mark of 47 percent in 2010.
14 percent of adults own a portable game device, similar to the share who owned one in 2009.
Today, 19 percent of adults report owning an e-reader, while in early 2014 that share was 32 percent.
The results are based on questions asked during telephone interviews conducted in English and Spanish between March 17 and April 12, 2015 among a national sample of 1,907 adults (age 18 and older). Pew’s smartphone data is based on questions asked during telephone interviews between June 10 and July 12, 2015. That sample consisted of 2,001 U.S. adults (age 18 and older).
