Apple’s iPad dominates the market of mobile web traffic with a share of 98%, says the latest report from Onswipe company, which develops different solutions for content optimization for touchscreen devices and that can track device and engagement data via the aptly-named Onswipe platform.
It was the first study of such type and Onswipe analyzed that web data received from almost 1200 different sites from a period of September 13-20 2012. As Jason L. Baptiste, an Onswipe CEP, commented: “The iPad is clearly a browsing device.”
Among the other leading manufacturers we can find Samsung with its Galaxy Tab various models with 1.53% of the traffic, and Motorola Xoom with 0.21%. Amazon Kindle Fire tablets have a share of 0.11%.
It is noteworthy that Kindle Fire owners spend on web pages by 79% more time than users of iPad. Partially, it may happen due to the fact that the Kindle Fire has a 7-inch screen, what lead to the increasing of page fragments, while the 9.7-inch iPad provides a comfortable environment for web surfing. However, Amazon’s users have 138% more page views per visit comparing with iPad’s ones. And this very stats data may push the developers to the further development of the gadgets with smaller screens.
Speaking about general mobile web traffic, iPad again takes the first place with 54.5% share; iPhone’s share is about 19.05%.

So we have all heard about the news of Apple’s recent lawsuits against Samsung for patent infringements. In the end, Apple was not able to actually hurt Samsung by making them take their products of the market, but instead was given a nice sum of money in a settlement. Now, the tables have been turned on Apple, as Samsung is hitting back with patent complaints over Apple’s newest smartphone release, the iPhone 5. While the case is still a ways off, this is certainly a shake up in the mobile market.
Of course with the September 12th release of the iPhone 5, there will be no recourse to actually block distribution. In fact, there has been a record presale of the iPhone, not to mention that they are already sold out for presale. What it does show, however, is that there is still a large competition to be the top smartphone developer.
The latest in the court rulings made Samsung pay out a $1 billion fine, but also had an unanticipated consequence. Samsung’s Galaxy S3 experienced a huge bump in sales. Apple was claiming the phone’s were too similar, and in fact pushed those holding out for iPhones switch to the Galaxy S3. After all, Apple kept saying how similar the two are.
