Tablets are primarily game-playing devices, according to a new study (http://blog.flurry.com/bid/90987/The-Truth-About-Cats-and-Dogs-Smartphone-vs-Tablet-Usage-Differences) by Flurry, a mobile analytics firm. Flurry looked at 6 billion application sessions across 500 million smart devices, and found that tablets were used for gaming much more than smartphones were, and for longer periods of time. "Further reinforcing that tablets are 'media machines' is the fact that consumers spend 71 percent more of their time using games on tablets they spend doing so on smartphones," said Peter Farago, vice president of marketing for Flurry.

Smartphone users are more often male (56 percent to 44 percent) while tablet users are evenly divided by gender (51 percent male).
