One In A Hundred Mac Owners Use A Mobile Browser
2007-12-05
A report that says iPhone browsing is approaching 0.1% market share has been causing a stir. It doesn't sound like a large amount, but the device has only been out for 5 months and that is a bigger share than a decade of Microsoft-based phones.
The stats for this blog show an even bigger percentage of mobile Safari users, close to that of Linux.
The yellow sliver is iPhone, and the blue sliver below it is iPod. Here are my numbers:
Here's the Wild Guess. Comparing my stats to those in the article, it is interesting to note that the ratio of Macintosh page views to the sum of iPhone and iPod page views is about the same: 100:1. So I conclude that roughly one in a hundred Mac owners have a mobile browser now. But with unit sales of Apple's mobile devices running something like 50% of Macs, I'd expect the 100:1 ratio to change dramatically over the next year: maybe to as much as 10:1.
