Hispanics users of the internet are more interested in wireless devices and portable music than computers, game consoles or home theaters according to a Forrester survey of Hispanic-Americans, writes eMarketer; according to its own numbers, less than 40 percent of the Hispanic population was online in 2005, compared with nearly half of African-Americans and more than 70 percent of whites and Asian Americans.
However, among those who are online, Hispanics are more than twice as likely as the rest of the population to visit online music sites, according to Forrester; they are more likely to watch video online (23 percent vs. 17 percent). Nevertheless, Hispanic-Americans are less likely than other Americans to use email (61 percent vs. 97 percent).
