and?
how about this... what percent of all cellphones is it?
what percent of all phones?
what percent of all web traffic?
hell, what’s its percentage if you compare the web traffic of the iphone, firefox and explorer?
what percent of web traffic is on the iphone, apple os, or windows os?
stats are fun, when your intent is to steer a point to a stat driven conclusion, after snipping off any non-pertinent points

So if RIM is 1.9% of the market, and Apple is only 1%, does this mean that the apple phones are using a LOT of bandwith?
From a february article.
“Now, a report from ABI Research indicates that Apple did in fact meet its goal for cellphone market share, coming in with a 1.1% market share for all cellphones worldwide. The top spots in terms of market share were occupied by all the usual suspects. Nokia phones comprised 38.6% of the cellphone market, and Samsung phones took up the second spot with 16.2%. Meanwhile, Motorola continues to trend downwards, and in 2008 its phones comprised 8.3% of the entire cellphone market worldwide - a significant decline that can partly be attributed to the fact that much of Motorola’s lineup is comprised of low-end phones that are quickly taking a backseat to the popularity of smartphones. BlackBerry’s, in contrast, continued to proliferate in markets worldwide, and attained a 1.9% market share in the entire cellphone market.”

According to Net Applications May 2009 data, percentage of all web traffic:
Well, you know... you may be right...
There should be a full range of comparisons there..,, like how many iPhones use the web, versus how many times do the citizens of a certain city go to the bathroom... :-)
Or perhaps another good comparison to know is how many web pages are accessed by the iPhone, compared to how many pizzas do we buy in the U.S.?
Or one that really jumps out at me, is how many web pages are accessed by the iPhone, compared to how many times did Obama refuse to give up his birth certificate (now that would be a favorite of some here at FReepville... LOL).
Yeah, that comparison of how many web pages does iPhone access compared to other U.S. Smartphones is so... (what can you say...) so manipulated... for sure... LOL...
I agree that it is unclear what conclusion one can derive from these data.
It’s certainly not the case the the iPhone has a 69% market share. I would say that the most accurate conclusion is that iPhone users tend to use their phones to do web browsing more often than owners of other phones.
It’s also not entirely clear these days which phones are “smartphones” and which aren’t. I have a Palm Centro, which is considered a smartphone, but a friend has a LG Dare, which doesn’t seem to be considered a smartphone, even though it has pretty much all the same default functions (admittedly, it doesn’t have a massive library of installable programs like the Palm).
