How representative are the "160 million users" that Net Applications is using (yes, I did read TFA and I find it very light on their metodology and on what they're actually measuring) to produce these numbers?
Last time I checked there was this "mobile" thing and there apparently isn't a single day where there's less people browsing using their phone than the previous day. Heck, even my girlfriend is now using FaceBook from her Android phone and she isn't anywhere near a tech-savvy person.
I receive mails from family members sent from their mobile phones and I know they do read news, use GMail, use FaceBook and even check eBay listings from their phone.
I've got a hard time imagining this trend changing.
And what about the tablet market?
So are these stats done by monitoring 160 million desktop users and totally disregarding tablet / mobile?
- hayksaakian 14y agoThis seems like a glaring error on their behalf, they made no explicit exemption of mobile browsing, so their data is highly misleading to anyone who reads it. I would almost bet that this post was urged by Microsoft in some way, as their lack of success on mobile would have resulted in a major hit to IE's true market share .
