NetApplications’ has pegged Apple’s iOS market share for browser capable mobile devices at a record 61.64% (worldwide) and a record 63.16% in the USA in October.
Worldwide, Android came in at 18.90%, JavaME had 12.84%, Symbian had 3.48%, and BlackBerry held 2.48%. In the USA, you can still see the effects of Apple’s iPhone remaining single-carrier (AT&T) for so long as Android came in at 31.72%. Beleaguered RIM’s BlackBerry had 3.86%.

But what about Flash, the Internet “open” standard?
My iPad and I are responsible for half the iOS Web share. Have had iPad since Day One back in April 2010 and use it to surf at least two hours each day.
I don’t know of any screen or screen resolution that would make graphs from Netapplications more discernible.
They’re simply that shitty.
MDN’s deleted the post you were responding to.
What devices are using Java ME for their browser?
But But But android is winning, right? lol poor fandroids..
And yet this statistic is never brought up when some media story brings up Android’s market share and claims Android is a “threat” to iOS or is even “winning”.
It is patently obvious to anyone who is paying attention: those who truly want a smartphone are buying iPhone and iOS devices. Android’s numbers are padded by all the 2-for-1 and free deals, putting large numbers of Android devices into the hands of people who don’t really care about the “smart” features.
