Do a search using "3g iPhone" and "3g Blackberry" and the picture is completely different.

Also, it is possible to determine buzz based on quantity of pr0n available for the device

@ Ricky, I bet you do not own any product from Apple. In current market place it is not possible to survive just on hype, you need both (hype and substance). Be open minded try few Apple products and decide yourself on substance issue.

People interested in technology might enjoy the artwork of tech artist Mark Dotzler. A slideshow of his technology based minimal sculpture can be seen here (). He also has some nice Google Homepage Themes at his site that are great for large displays. My favorite is "Fat Wide Pipe".

Uh, won't a measure of "blackberry" searches also include anyone who's searching for blackberry pie, blackberry ice cream, how to grow blackberries, etc?

Somebody didn't do his homework…The cities breakout on Google Trends gives the relative popularity of a search item – this means that Hong Kong doesn't have more (in number) searches than New York, but just that a greater proportion of active internet users in Hong Kong are searching for the item.

The only thing this article shows is that if you want solid news about Apple, you should type in "Apple", not "Apple 2.0".

I would imagine that most people are interested in the "new version of the iphone, but when searching would not put in"3G iphone" but rather just plain "iPhone". I would be surprised if people today are googling "iphone" in respect to the "older" model.

can't wait for the new iphone and apps. a continuing saga much like the ipod that will grow to dominate the space. i like the fact apple continues to innovate while the rest continue to imitate.

check "iphone" in trends now and see that by far that Russian leads in the language area. Indication of large interest?
