Chippy over at UMPCPortal took a look at Google Trends to graph some mobile computing terms, and his findings are worth checking out. Plus they got me to thinking about the same trends for the major smartphone players, so I ran a graph of my own. This graph shows the popularity of the following terms on Google for 2009:

The iPhone dominates the Google trends for 2009, much as it has done since the initial launch. I’m surprised to see that the BlackBerry leads the rest of the pack, followed by the Pre, Windows Mobile and lastly, Android. This is from the top graph, which shows total search volume on Google.
The bottom graph is the news reference and paints a different picture. It shows that the Pre has dominated the news, followed by the iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. I’m especially surprised to see that Android doesn’t trend well on either graph.
