yeah, that does change things. I was a little doubtful at first anyways. I thought that 7% and 3% were a little low for blackberry and windows. But still, I'm pretty sure its somewhere up there. Maybe not in the 50s, but somewhere in the 30s or 40s. This is from the website you posted : "AdMob also doesn't measure traffic outside of its network, so if you check your e-mail, watch a video on YouTube, or visit Craiglist through your mobile phone, those uses don't show up in the metrics." - the iphone's internet browser and youtube application are one of the most used features on the phone though, so if this data was included in the metrics, they would probably be in Apple's (and Android's) favor.

Gayshit jajajaja.....!!! Dude......!!! Really to be honest i enjoy havin discussion with the paid fanboys like ya, u guys are very funny....and speaking about the droid, is a good handset but is overrated, still can't compare to the iphone, if the other cellphone maker wants to beat the iphone they got to create their own game, they wont have any success trying to knock off the iphone with the same stuff.....!!!!

Unfortunally for VZW....droid have no chance against the Iphone, the only cellphone able to beat the iphone is th LG bl40 of course with a huge subside in the states and a complete network made up like Telus or Bell to HSPA....in other words not gonna happen at this time around....!!!! Ohhh the wet dreams is kinda like every fanboy like you to see one day the iphone with the VZW logo , that will end years of frustration and desperation...!!!!

This is total BS, where are the real numbers? Maybe, just maybe if Apple had many different models on all carriers worldwide, similar to the other fruit(BB) this might be true. More enterprises rely on BlackBerry than the I-phone, this article is biased and Not factual.

just like everything else that the marketing machine called Apple says. Partial truth with a huge exaggeration that we aren't to question apple or one of there supporters says it so its fact, what were you thinking !!!

I use both an iPhone and a BB. I average 500Mb/month on iPhone and 100Mb/month on BB. This is not to be a statical norm, however, I definitely use more data on my iPhone. My iPhone is personal and the BB is for business. The thing that is important to realize is that BB compresses data to limit how it impacts any carriers network. This also translates to fantastic battery life. The iPhone accesses the internet as though it were a PC and not a mobile device. I think this is why we see the huge differences in data consumption.

tis a nugget of truth. also realize that most iphone users are idiots who spend most of the day watching the latest fat kid make a fool of himself on youtube, which causes alot of data pull. It doesnt mean they are using their phones more, just they are doing more data sensitive things. I can read foxnews for an hour on my android device, or some tween can be watching the latest fagpire Twilight trailors on his iphone... who do u think pulls more data? its amazing though, androidcentral has graphs up too, and it shows android in 2nd place with WW data usage. guess sites just like to use whatever graphs make them the happiest. Concidering anroid has been out for barely a year and on the smallest national carrier in the US until last month, id say thats pretty big. iphone has been worldwide for 3 years now so of course its going to have the bigger following. also proving that most people are idiots. lol.
