It’s always fun to see just how different areas of the world are using different elements of the Internet. We have known for quite some time that Japan is the world leader in mobile usage although you don’t hear as much about it these days as the US and Europe closes the gap.

comScore released findings for these three areas that seem to run with what one might predict about mobile usage for each region. While admittedly a little tough to read I have highlighted the leaders in each category relating to how mobile is used (hat tip to ReadWriteWeb for the info).

The US was the leader in social networking and blog access as well as checking bank accounts. Interestingly enough, the Japanese didn’t check their financial accounts as much as the US but they have a hunger for financial news.

As the world of Internet marketing grows more expansive and thus more confusing each day (think multiple platforms, measurement issues, mobile needs, not even doing the basics well etc. etc) marketers are often faced with decisions that didn’t even exist the day before.

Now add to the mix the excitement that is building around an Android table from Samsung, the Galaxy Tab. It’s a seven-inch tablet so the form is different from the iPad and, of course, it will likely serve to fan the flames of the great Android v Apple debate.

The Wall Street Journal reports

Several major news organizations are lining up behind a new tablet device from Samsung Electronics Co. built on Google Inc. software, in order to broaden mobile readership beyond owners of Apple Inc. popular iPad.
