Results of a recent global online survey from Nokia indicates that women are better at multitasking than men, and think they are too, with only 6% of women believing that men are better at doing more than one thing at a time.
Out of the more than 5000 respondents, 79% consider themselves multitaskers, with folk from Denmark and Norway the most likely to be doing several things at once.
Here comes the Nokia tie-in - 74% believe their phone makes them better at multitasking with 62% doing two or three activities while talking on the blower.
Although the majority claimed they do more than one thing at a time while on their mobile phone, 48% said the call was their main focus.
When asked what was the most fun activity to do while on their mobile phone, most said "being in bed", although, ahem, apparently no more specifics were given.
