Google's Android's market share compares well with Apple's iPhone

• modoc 17y ago
  Headline should read: "Androids web browser market share compares well to the 2G iPhone when it had been out for five months" Which isn't unimpressive, but isn't headline material imho. The demographic who is early adopters of the android phones are pretty likely to be heavier tech/web users than the iPhone folks.

    I agree with the first part, but how would several iPhone headlines sound if you break em down? Just read several numbers more thoroughly. Financial Q4/Q1 2009 approx. 30% down. Financial Q2 2008/Q2 2009 up 123% with 85 added countries... "The demographic who is early adopters of the android phones are pretty likely to be heavier tech/web users than the iPhone folks." I've seldom seen a 'normal' guy using an iPhone before the 3G iPhone came out...

  FYI the original iPhone was available only in the US in June 07. Selected European countries had them only in November 07. Way to skew a "report". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone#History_and_availability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone#History_and_availability
