UK Gadget and Tech News, Reviews and Shopping

As of last week TechCrunch reported that there has been 17 million iPhones sold worldwide, and put this together with Apple’s iPod Touch they have sold over 30 million devices combining both. This is one hell of a figure!

It is no surprise then that the iPhone is one of the most used gadgets in the world today….there’s 17 million of them out there!

Quoted straight from TechCrunch ” The iPhone now accounts for 50 percent of mobile Web traffic from smartphones in the U.S., according to an AdMob Mobile Metrics report released this morning. Over the past six months, the iPhone has taken share from Blackberry and Windows Mobile. In August 2008, the iPhone made up only 10 percent of mobile Web traffic from smartphones. During the same time, Blackberry's share has gone from 32 percent to 21 percent (with the Curve and the Pearl coming in stronger than the Storm), while Windows Mobile has taken an even bigger hit, declining from 30 percent to 13 percent. Palm is also down to 7 percent from 19 percent six months ago.”

If you look at the table above, the only other smartphone operating system showing a plus on mobile web usage is Android, with 5% just 3 months after launch. This therefore highlights the capabilities of todays technology and the advantages phone have when they hold a fully functioning web browser like Safari on the iPhone.

One thought on “iPhone Claim 50% Of Traffic In The U.S.

  • I think there are much better mobile phones out there than the Apple iPhone, the camera is poor and doesn’t seem to be improving with new models.
