The iPhone has become the latest craze among people. Though it does not account for half the sale, it definitely accounts for half of the smartphone usage across the world.
Blackberry and Palm Pre are not as successful as iPhones, as Blackberry accounted for around 12% of the data traffic via mobile broadband while Palm Pre accounted for merely 5% of the same in October, which is 5% lesser than September. Thus, it seems that Apple’s iPhone has conquered the market, though others have not been that successful.
This was found by a mobile advertising company AdMob that did a study on the data traffic via 3G mobiles. The company checked more than fifteen thousand websites that advertise smartphones and looked at the applications for buying these phones in order to find out the popularity of different phones.
In addition to the above conclusions, the study also showed that smartphones using Google’s Android operating system have become very well known, as these phones have contributed for close to three quarter of the data traffic in October 2010, at least in the USA.
This establishes that the real guilt of clogging the network is on iPhones. Most of the other smartphones are not used so much that they can lead to congestion in the network. This congestion has been troubling mobile internet service providers who have been trying to manage the load so that subscribers can get good services.
