Charts, charts, charts…
Found a number of interesting charts at Business Insider with more or less connection to mobile:
CHART OF THE DAY: iPhone Blows Past Windows Mobile
This should not be a surprise to anyone. Windows Mobile will simply not be able to compete with iPhone and even less with Android. Let it RIP.
CHART OF THE DAY: Android Taking Wind Out Of iPhone's Sails
This should come as no surprise: Android has been adopted by all major mobile phones providers except Nokia and Apple (obviously), and there will also be a greater span of lowend to highend, so this is just the start of a trend. Windows Mobile, LiMo, iPhone/OSX, Bada, Maemo, WebOS etc will suffer.
CHART OF THE DAY: Apple Dominates Smartphone Growth In Q4
Yet, iPhone sails on with good speed.
CHART OF THE DAY: The End Of Newspapers
This ties in to the e-book and e-magazine trend. I haven’t had a paper newspaper (sic!) for years, but this note indicates that current newspaper publishers will have problems also on-line, and never recoup the current decrease in the interest for magazines, being more and more replaced by more immediate and “chaotic” news services, like pro blogs (not this one) and social network services.
CHART OF THE DAY: Another Monster Christmas For Apple's iPod Touch
CHART OF THE DAY: iPod Touch Is Apple's Sleeper Hit
I’ve read elsewhere that teens have found out the iPod Touch is an excellent portable game console due to its 3D hardware, and there are clearly many games for it, making it the best portable game console on the market, without having being marketed as such at all. Also, it obviously serves very well as a media player as well, and it’s a good everyday web pad too.
CHART OF THE DAY: AdMob Hits Pause On Growth To Focus On Smartphones
This doesn’t make sense concerning bottom line, but I guess Google is putting pressure on AdMob, that’s now obviously out of the risk zone of ever going bankrupt, being acquired and all.
