I would have loved to have seen early iPhone data. It’s easy to show dominance of a particular data set in survey when you jump on the data fairly quickly (As seems to be the case in the examples above. iPhone has been around now for much longer than the Droid and other Android devices, and as such, iPhone users most likely have learned that it’s often smarter to use wi-fi instead of the (sometimes) costly 3G networks.)

As Android devices continue to penetrate the market, my bet is that the number of 3G users (on Androids) will decrease as more Android users take advantage of wi-fi capabilities. The end result will most likely look more like the Apple pie chart (no pun intended).

Well, not to get nitpicular (look for Sarah P to start using that word), but Android doesn’t run on the 3G. Also, I would have to agree with the other reply, in that people who have the money for a ‘droid phone probably have a home network.

There’s also no breakout of carriers by device make by device model by OS by OS version. It’s insane you wouldn’t provide ALL of the data for free publicly. Just pure madness.

And Stacy “predicted,” not reported what others told her? Interesting.

Gee… I guess the carriers should use all this new revenue from all of these new smartphone users and improve their network capacity. Instead of doing so, they’ll give themselves bigger bonuses first, then use a smaller proportion of their profits to build out their networks.
