Comments on: iOS Accounts for 2% of Web Browsing, Android on the Rise http://gigaom.com/2011/02/01/2-percent-of-web-browsing-is-from-ios-devices/ Fri, 24 May 2013 20:27:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Michael David http://gigaom.com/2011/02/01/2-percent-of-web-browsing-is-from-ios-devices/#comment-606915 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:48:31 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=292560#comment-606915 Jade, do you ever get tired of being wrong about Apple? Here is a quote from your pre-launch iPad article, predicting “failure”:

“Looking back at iPhone launches, a million iPads ordered would definitely be a success, probably more than all the Slate PCs with Windows sold since 2002. Don’t expect that to happen. ”

Yes, expect it to happen. The iPad launch outperformed the iPhone. They sold 3 million units in 80 days. They’ve sold How about 10 million in 2010? Would that “definitely be a success”?

Seriously, enough with the goofy anti-Apple predictions – you’re batting .000 now. Android isn’t going to overtake Apple. The iPad isn’t going to fail. And yes, there will be lines at the Apple store. Here’s a tip: start predicting Apple’s successes, then you’ll start getting it right. Until then, you just provide lots of BWAHAHAAHA fodder for Apple fans.

So, if you were to put everything on an even scale with curves implemented, I think we’d see a much higher %. However, that being said, most of the time if someone has the option to sit down and watch videos they’re going to do so on a desktop/laptop before they’d do it on a phone or iPad. -iphone.blogupdates.net
