In The News: Apple iPad Captured .04% of Browser Market Share

Even before its launch in the US, the latest offering from Apple Inc. has already hit the headlines; people are talking about its beauty, its Wi-Fi and 3GS capability, its sleek and modern design and its feature lineup which surpasses the Apple iPhone. So successful was this new baby, that Apple was forced to delay worldwide launch of iPad by a month due to strong U.S demand and limited iPad supply. This caused annoyance among worldwide fans but hey, it wouldn't matter much, just as how Israel banned Apple iPad to protect its wireless network does not affect anything; Apple had already sold massive amount of units in the U.S alone and the iPad hype just continued...


iPad even made headlines most recently with its browser market share. Just a mere 10 days off from its launch in the U.S, NetApplications' data is already reporting that iPad captured some 0.04% of browser market share; the numbers even rivaled those of Windows Mobile, Android and Blackberry.

  
Apple's mobile products literally still dominate the mobile browsing scene, even if iPad isn't in there to mix things up. iPhone recorded a 0.51% market share, while iPod touch comes in at 0.11%.  However, with iPad going so strong barely a few days into its launch, i guess we can expect a massive shake in the browser market share pretty soon...shall i guess, three months? Some people may suggest that iPad had been successful thus far due to initial launch hype, but remember, that amount was in the U.S alone, with full-featured iPad yet to come and another worldwide launch yet to happen.


All i can say for now is: iPad, you really got the right stuffs in you!
