  1. While the % changes are quite small it does provide one useful statistic. If NetApps numbers are reflective of worldwide internet use, this means the iPhone is used for almost 1% of all internet usage.

    That’s a big deal for a machine that isn’t a PC.

    It would also be good tot know how much in raw number pages does this percentage equate to.

  2. Wven with all those companies pumping android.

    Apple is still a threat even after just 3 years of phone design.

    “WOW, I like their plan, I like it alot! NOW COPY! COPY IT FAST!” Quote of Steve Ballmer as the investors gather outside with pitchforks.

  3. I’ve just compiled the mobile usage stats for our network for the last month.The iPhone is still the most popular mobile device visting the sites. Droid is usually 3rd or 4th, with the iPod number 2.

    It shows that despite more droids being sold, their users aren’t surfing the web as much as iPhone users. The NetApps data seems to show this is the case globally.
