Text-happy addicts could be could be about to see their craving replaced by the emergence of instant messaging on smartphones.
This is because technology firm Expansys has found that one in ten Brits already use this communication technique on their phones for four hours each day.
Further hyping up the concept of instant messaging is the fact that around half of smartphone users access real-time chat solutions for two hours in a 24-hour period.
Are these results much surprise though, seeing as though Facebook Chat, Skype and Windows Messenger are available to so many smartphone texters now?
Jonathan Morris, editor of What Mobile magazine, noted that "instant messaging is where it's at" and makes smartphones as attractive to teens as their older siblings and parents.
Purely Gadget stocks the iPhone 4, which has a ton of social media options.
