[citation][nom]mikeinjbay[/nom]Must be takling about smartphones - no way that 63% of phones sold are iPhones![/citation]
Actually, reading the article and following the sources shows that the marketshare that is being talked about is not in sold phones or phones on the market, it is a messurment how much webtraffic is being generated from different mobile devices, and in this case 63% of all mobile generated webtraffic in the US comes from IPhones.
So this could for example mean:
1. All smartphones generate the exact same amount of webtraffic in daily use, thus 63% of all smartphones are iPhones.
2. The iPhone generate ten times as much traffic as other smartphones thus 6.3% of all smarphones are iPhones
Of course the truth is somewhere in between these, but the fact is that iPhone users use the web more, both due to the fact that the iPhone in itself uses the web a lot, and that it is simpler to surf the web using an iPhone than a lot of other smartphones (I own a windows mobile phone and it is a pain to surf with).
