Report: Apple iPhone and Apple iPad are responsible for 60% of non-PC mobile video viewing

FreeWheel couldn't give a reason why there is such a large difference in viewing videos over an iOS or Android device. One possibility is that Android tablets are still in their early stage and users aren't bothering to watch videos or do heavy internet browsing with them. The report says that lower sales of Android tablets alone can't account for the difference in the use of iOS and Android tablets for streaming video.
The analysis also showed that users viewing a long-form video were more likely to watch entire ads without skipping over them than those viewing shorter videos. Of course, these longer-form videos contain more ads than shorter clips. FreeWheel also determined that since 2011, the number of videos streamed to mobile viewers has tripled to a total of 1.3 billion.

Apple mobile browser share dropped for the first time in last 12 months. it dropped 5% overall in last month and Android at the same time gained 5% of total market share.
Apple has huge share for sure, but it's dropping and I dont think its something Apple is happy about like this articles wants to make it sound.

because iFans spent all their money to buy overpriced iPhone and iPad, so they don't have money to buy a propor laptop or TV to watch movies, lol

No, because they can't do other things on their phones other than web surfing.

I've got two words that I knew would come up as soon as I read the title:Desktop mode.These studies are always screwed, because Android can trick their browser into being identified as something else.
