Another stunning bit of Android Vs iPhone market share analysis has been released today, courtesy of media download (AKA ringtone & wallpaper supplier) Myxer.
According to user data that counts downloads of Myxer products by mobile users, Android phone owners download SEVEN TIMES more digital stuff than iPhone users – and the pace in growth of Android phone access to the site is growing faster than iPhone user numbers to boot. Here’s an actual quote, for truth purposes:
“According to research conducted in the fourth quarter of 2009, Android users download seven times as many ringtones, wallpapers, videos, applications, and games as iPhone users. Correspondingly, visits to Myxer’s mobile site from users on the Android operating system grew 350% in 2009, compared to iPhone, which grew 170%.”
What does this tell us? Probably that Android owners are geeky tinkerers, keen on trying everything on the network – rather than casual iPhone buyers who only bother with the famous few apps Apple shovels down their throats via TV adverts.
But let’s not over-analyse this – the important thing is it’s yet another upward-pointing graph of VICTORY!
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
