Even more amazing is if other iPad users are like me and DON’T spend a majority of their time in the browser.

Excellent point! At least half of the apps I use access the Internet for functionality.

Q: Why?

The OtherPads can’t hack it. Go read a book on it…

Don’t forget the iPhone percentage is lower because of all the custom Apps that this survey can’t capture but are still using the Internet.

Yes, Yes it is. I would never have guessed in a million years that the Xoom would even be mentioned, much less come in 3rd with 1.5% I’m amazed.

Not surprised. They count a lot of eBooks and people read books. They don’t surf and buy things. I believe that Amazon’s baby tablet is programed to buy from Amazon. So, no one making money on Android tablet apps. iOS is where the money is at!

The ONLY reason android has a higher phone percentage is because of the subsidized phone paradigm that the US employs. If a phone is free or almost free, they’ll pick that android POS. When it comes to tablets that whole scenario collapses and look what you get. Android is shit and people will pick shit if it is free. Sad but true.

As do most other tablets including iPads. Folks use these gadgets to surf the web, maybe read a book and of course playing simple games.

My mother-in-law got a fire. All she uses it for is reading and Angry Birds. Otherwise, it just collects dust.

Google must be absolutely terrified of these numbers. Get rid of Google search and it’s game over.

0.11% for the Kindle Fire, and 98% for the iPad?

If 84M iPads have been sold that implies less than 100k Fires, but that can’t be right, so it means people just aren’t using their Fires to web browse. One or the other, and likely a combination of the two.
