Google’s Android is gaining Web usage share, but still lags far behind Apple’s iOS, according to NetApplications.
Apple’s iOS has 4.9 times the global usage share of Google Android devices.
NetApplications’ mobile share methodology measures share for browser capable mobile devices. This means the mobile device must be able to render HTML pages and javascript. Visits to WAP pages are not included.

Give it time, there are way, way more people able to afford a Android phone than a iPhone.
It’s just the carriers have limited bandwidth and are milking the rich.

Bizzarro, iPhone 3GS is $99, iPhone 4 is $199 and $299. Apple is totally competitive in price.

Android is only on smartphones (and a trickle of oversized smartphones that call themselves “tablet computers”). iOS is on iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads in terms of web usage numbers, all with ongoing massive sales numbers. Perhaps we will be able to add Apple TV to that list at some future date.

I’m sorry, but you are wrong. There is only one possible correct response, and that is defined by Bizarro.
Getting back on topic, iOS is doing just fine even with Android running around in iPhone clothing.

You forgot one little detail, a overpriced 2 year contract with the carriers that Apple gets kickbacks from.
That’s where the real hurt comes in.
And do you know why the iPad came out?
Because people can’t see the web pages on those darn small screens the iPhones have, so it’s really not a solution after all, just a huge cost.

Yep Jay… you are wrong, comparing prices is made without contract. In Europe iPhone costs 700€ to 800€ and Android 100€ to 400€. Very diferent!!!

Then why does Apple’s iOS have 4.9 times the global Web usage share of Google’s Android?

Android phone on Verizon, 2 phones for $199 plus 2 year contracts for both phones.
iPhone on AT&T, 1 phone for $99 plus 2 year contract for one phone at a very similar rate as Verizon.
Seems to me that you pay way more for Android phones.

Bizzarro is poor and I’m rich. That is bizarre.

“Then why does Apple’s iOS have 4.9 times the global Web usage share of Google’s Android?”
Because Web share is a trailing indicator. It’s the same reason that Window has 9 times the global Web usage compared to OSX.

I am sorry, but in the rest of the world, the iPhone isn’t expensive, well, it’s the same price, but of course there are many countries where people get more money for their work than in the US. This is not to offend anybody American, but well, in Europe we were not so heavily hit by the global crisis and are just doing fine (could always be better of course). The phone contracts are cheaper too, may it be because of regulation or true competition (more than one carrier). I haven’t seen an Android phone “live” yet in my country, so I am not surprised by those numbers. Still, you could be right the iPhone may get competition, especially when other poorer countries join the smartphone world – or where the single carrier system stays alive, like in the US or Japan (where I live too partly, and there are not many Android phones to be seen there either, more blackberries. And LOTS of iPhones. The people get a bit more money than the US citizens but still less than in Europe.) So you may be right, especially when south america, India, eastern Europe and central Asia will join, and later Africa too. But I don’t think Apple should become the next Nokia or Windows-Box-like, I think it’s a better strategy to focus on high class products. It’s better for us customers too. Market share isn’t all that important…
