Games company Dreadnought Design has launched a research poll to investigate the spending habits of iPhone games consumers.

The first in a series of research initiatives designed to better understand the characteristics of the fledgling iPhone games apps market, the poll invites iPhone gamers to declare how much they spend on new iPhone game downloads each month. There are five options to choose from, ranging from less than US$5 per month to $50 or more for big spenders. You can find the polls at http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/DreadnoughtDesign/121001591273361?v=app_20678178440 .

The poll will remain open until Oct. 31. After this date, the results will be collated and published on Dreadnought Design’s web site.
