Supplementary notes
* In 2011, the answer was "video-enabled MP3 player". ** In 2013, the answer was "multimedia tablet". Percentages may not total 100 percent due to rounding, refused/don’t know responses, or because multiple responses were allowed. Figures for 2011 and 2013 come from an earlier edition of the report. The 2013 edition of the report does not provide data for 'internet access' and 'none of these'.
