Mobile Web Market Share- iPhone Takes Over 66%
I love browsing on the iPhone. Even without flash it is a great experience.
In fact, during a brief visit with a Nokia N810 last month thanks to my friend Jamie, I was reminded just how MUCH I like the iPhone for mobile browsing. Well it turns out I/we are in good company. According to AppleInsider…
Net Applications’ February results show the iPhone operating system having managed over nine times the usage of its next smartphone competitor, Windows Mobile, which had just 6.91 percent of the traffic measured across tens of thousands of sites.
Other smartphone platforms haven’t fared any better, according to the metrics. Google’s Android and Symbian were both locked in a tie for 6.15 percent. Research in Motion’s email-centric BlackBerry OS was used less often at just 2.24 percent and was even outmatched by PalmOS devices, which represented 2.37 percent of cellular web use last month.
Let’s take a good long look at this. There are just two iPhone models (okay five based on storage but it is really just two) while there are MULTIPLE Blackberry devices and DOZENS of Windows Mobile devices AND… the two iPhone models account for over 65% of mobile browsing.
Translation- mobile browsing works with the right device and, thanks to the iPhone, we now have access to the right device.
