The interesting thing here is the subtle shot that Apple is taking at Google with iOS. Readability like functionality removes advertisements. In the talk they said that safari represents 2/3rds of mobile web browsing. And that web browser is about to be equipped with technology that can turn those ads off.
I think down the road, there's going to be a couple different aspects to content on the web. Advertising based content that you get from google, and for-pay content that you'll get from Apple's News Stand and iBook store.
- aphexairlines 15y agoWhere are those 2/3 numbers coming from? Amazon logs show a completely different story. The problem here is that nobody big (Amazon, Google, e-Bay, Yahoo, etc) wants to reveal their traffic numbers because they don't want their competitors to have this information when deciding where to allocate dev resources. So Apple can be completely making this up and nobody will call them on it.
- Steko 15y agoThey usually cite net applications or something: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers Wikimedia stats are interesting although I wouldn't read too much into them: http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2011-05/SquidReportOrigins.htm http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2011-05/Squ... Toss out the wiki apps and do something with "mozilla" (toss it or split among other webkit I guess) and iOS is up in the low-mid 60%'s. That's without making any adjustments for Opera which will be much lower if you are US only.
