iPad grabs 1% of global browser share, 25% of US mobile browsing

by Kelly Hodgkins Jul 4th 2011 at 4:00PM

Not surprisingly, recent statistics from New Applications, a web analytics firm, show that many people are using their iPad to browse the web. The iPad now accounts for 1% of the global web browser market and 2% in the US. This number has steadily increased since the original iPad debuted in early 2010.

In the US mobile browser market, the iPad grabs a respectable 25.5% which trails the iPhone (35.2%) and Android devices (31.6%). Together, the iPhone and iPad grab almost two-thirds of the US mobile browser market (60.7%). This figure is twice almost twice as much as Android's share and more that eight times greater than Blackberry's 6.9% share. Symbian, Windows Mobile and webOS account for less than 0.5% each, which is a mere speck on the radar.

I normally don't want to be THAT guy, but this article really needs copy-editing. Does the iPad have 2% of the US mobile browsing market or 25%? Is it twice Android's share or twice almost twice as much as Android's share? Yes, I can figure this out by looking at the graphs, but it's making you look a little amateurish.

2% of web browsing period in the US. 25% of just mobile.

Nobody ever goes over how much share the iPod touch has. I wager that, with that included, iOS browsing share is more than 2x Android, not almost 2x. :-)

"This figure is twice almost twice as much as Android's share and more that eight times greater than Blackberry's 6.9% share."

I'd rewrite that a bit.. :)
