Apple blows past other hardware web sites in May

Nielsen also took a look at blog mentions of the iPhone in early June, and the numbers are pretty striking there too. You can see the peak as the release date approached, with another peak on release day June 19.

They say if people are talking about you it's a good thing. By that measure things are really great at Apple.

Wow. It isn't even close. Apple blew by HP, Dell and even MagicJack (!) with the most visits to a website in May. According to the people...

"Lightsthe average visitor stayed on the Apple site an average of 1 hour and 14 minutes."This is a skewed calculation. Each computer and iPhone in every apple store location is tuned to the Apple website nearly 24/7. This would throw off these calculations. Granted it's a large number of unique visitors, but 24/7 makes a dent.

The "Apple is dying" meme! Where have you been?
I thought you had died! ...Or slunk away in embarassment.
apple's traffic exceeds everyone else's (on the list) COMBINED

And on another point when did this become the unoffical apple commetors blog. Geez people most of the comments I read on this site hate on apple and tuaw.

In less time that it took to ask, "what the fuck is magicjack!?!>!!>!?", you could have googled it and found out.

Apple will have large numbers of hits for cell phones (iPhone 3GS) and software (Snow Leopard), so a comparison with only hardware vendors doesn't tell us very much. What are the figures for Palm, RIM, HTC? Microsoft in general.
I'll partially answer that question myself:
Microsoft - 98,227,000
(Source: http://www.nielsen-online.com/pr/pr_090616.pdf)
Of course, from this data, it would still be equally inaccurate to say "Microsoft blows past other operating system web sites in May".
congratulations to apple for winning another useless statistic..claiming people are looking for hardware ....apps and Itunes not included right
...you know this thing with apple and PC is childish and if either is not careful they are going to get run over ...by foreign competitors ...lets say ford and chevy ...for an example or RCA ...GE ...grow up boys and there fans the competition is knocking and they are coming fully armed and loaded ...
