An appeeling thought.
No free plane tickets! 🙂 ha
Yep, Apple is doomed.
They fear that the plastic won’t hold up to the cabin pressure.
This stat is skewed the other way when we look at the intercity bus stat!
So, are you thinking that people that may have the cash to buy something (car, boat, vacation, …) spent a little more to get the best and Android with their e-Readers may not have extra cash and may have had to go cheap again. It could be the place to advertise Food Stamps, government free cheese, pot clubs in Colorado, … So, know your customer and run the ads on the correct devices. Ok. So, how is Google making money with this free Android OS?
Free cheese? Where? Oh, I forgot, it’s probably Fumunda cheese. 💀
It’s just not above the clouds. It’s an Apple world in the airports as well. Granted, it’s a higher income demographic, but you get my drift.
I’ve been on a number of flights, domestic and international, lately and have to say these numbers are suspicious. Based on my observations, the non-Apple devices in use on airplanes is somewhere in the vicinity of zero.
I do have to say quite the opposite. I see a lot of non-iPad tablets and large form factor phones being used it when I fly. And I fly a fair amount. Of course I’m quite happy with my third-generation retina iPad. But I don’t believe this article is very accurate.
unless you two are looking over someone’s shoulder to see what they are doing you can’t tell who is logged in. i use my macbook pro, ipad and iphone on an airplane but i don’t ever log in – the prices are exhorbitant. i can wait until i land – nice to be disconnected once in a while.
I rent a movie from iTunes and watch inflight.
No,not logged in. Using. The number of people who are using their devices. I see a large percentage of non-Apple tablets and phones being used when I fly. Most are not logged in. I don’t log in, I just use my iPad to watch something I have saved to the hard drive. Or I spend the time deleting emails or straightening out my photos. I see a wide variety of phones and tablets but certainly not the percentage of Apple that the article seems to tout. But as I said, I’m very happy with my third gen iPad retina. It looks great and works flawlessly. My iPhone 4 S? While it works very well as have all my others, I am ready for a larger iPhone. Have been ready for a long time.
People who have money and can afford gogo services, prefer Apple products. Crumb-bum hillbillies buy Android
What the heck is YKBAID MDN? Have I lost my marbles asking that question?
You know because Apple is doomed.

Simple truth is Android has a MUCH better selection of meth recipe apps…’nuf said.
