In the popularity of Android is an amazing feature: it is not accompanied by comparable in scale growth in the number of users visiting sites using devices based on Android.For some reason, the owners of android phones to at least start the browser, users than iPhone. What does this mean?
Nearly two-thirds of mobile Internet users in the United States AND Russia enjoy the iPhone and aypadami.
To assess the activity of users of Android and iOS the web, use the record of Internet statistics Openstat (Spylog), which counter is set to multiple sites Runet. According to global statistics Openstat, if we take all the visitors who use iOS and Android, as 100 percent, then the owners will have to Android, only 37 percent, and the iPhone and iPad - 63 percent.
In this case, according to the analytical agency "Smartmarketing", sold lack of mobile phones and tablets based on Android, and only half lach - based on iOS. In other words, if you believe "Smartmarketingu" , a device based on Android twice more popular than the iPhone and iPad.
To understand what was going on, we need more data, but here's my theory: Prospects look strange only because of the fact that we are comparing the incomparable things.Over the past few years, the boundaries of concepts "smartphone" and "normal mobile phone" (feature phone), never distinguished by great clarity, have been completely washed out. If you figure out where they moved, all questions will disappear by themselves.
The main feature of the smartphone has always been the existence of a "real" operating system with "real" applications. In conventional mobile phone it replaced the primitive ring middleware, and applications if there were then only in Java. Think about how this idea behind the times.
Applications for Android, too, written in Java, but no one sees this as a pretext to deny the right of android phones considered smartphones. The first iPhone did not allow to install the application, but has never been a feature phone. Platform Series 30, which use low-cost mobile phones Nokia, clearly belongs to a different class than the Android or iOS, but it does not call primitive: it is and the browser, and applications, and even the semblance of App Store.
Correct to look for differences between smartphones and regular mobile phones, not in the functionality that is becoming more and more universal, and how to use it. A normal mobile phone - it's first phone and then everything else. In the smartphone the same telephony features, browser and applications is given equal attention.
From this perspective, Symbian gradually transformed into a system for mobile phones (Nokia and planned, so do not be surprised), iOS and Windows Phone used strictly for smartphones (at least not yet), but there is something with Android earlier unprecedented: the first system to be used in smart phones, and in conventional mobile phones, and while there, and there - with great success.
Behavior smartphone with Android, likely similar to the behavior of users iOS. They at least are on the internet and download the same frequency applications. If compared with iOS were taken into account only these two diagrams shown above, would be far less varied.
At the same time, some devices with Android are used exclusively as a conventional mobile phone, and, therefore, are these. Their owners are calling friends and send SMS - and that now it has to do with the touchscreen did not change matters. It is these devices, "ordinary mobile phones" in Android, a platform spoil the statistics.
Since smartphones account for only a small part of the phone market, it partly explains why so rapidly increasing share of Android. It grows in both directions - and up to smartphones, and down to the ordinary mobile phones. Given that the possibilities of "mobile phone" with Android is not very different from a smartphone with Android, can come of something interesting: those who did not buy and did not plan to buy a smartphone, once purely rasprobuyut smartphone features, getting to them in the load and go over to the camp owners of smartphones.
