Hi, I'm not sure anyone said videos. Exactly. My words were prolonged video content. In essence, I was referring to TV shows and feature length movies. My point was, people prefer to watch longer video content such as TV shows, and movies on larger screens. If you want to watch a 2 minute video on youtube, and your phone is in your hand, of course, its just more expedient to do so. If you add up all the hours of just video content consumed, I wouldn't be surprised if it was about even or, smartphones had a lead over other devices.
