ComScore: Nearly a quarter of US smartphone owners have tablets, love their video

[![Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 review wrap-up][1] ][2]

If you've got a smartphone, it's increasingly likely that you're also carrying a tablet as a sidearm. [ComScore][3] understands that 23.6 percent of American smartphone owners also have [an iPad][4], [Kindle Fire][5] or some other large touchscreen slab as of April. That's only 16.5 percent of all cellphone owners in the land, but that's a huge jump from 9.7 percent of smartphone owners (4.7 percent of cellphone owners) just one year earlier. And if you do own a slate, odds are that you're watching your fair share of movies and cat videos. More than half of tablet users, 53 percent, fire up the likes of [Netflix][6] or YouTube at least once a month, with almost a tenth (9.5 percent) tuning in daily. Tablet lovers are unsurprisingly three times more likely to watch than their smartphone counterparts, suggesting that it's just a short hop from buying a tablet to catching up on [_Daily Show_ episodes][7].
