You said:

"The iPod’s Web share, meanwhile, grew 37% last month, from 0.05% to .08%,"

The diff is 0.03% which is (in my book) 60% of 0.05. That is an even more impressive rate.

ex ped: (Slapping his head) Right you are! Thanks.

iPhone and iPod shares should be combined… They use the same operating system!

I've been looking at the NetApplications data for awhile.

You should treat all holiday data as if it were weekend data (see the spikes for iPhone and iPod each weekend). If you use this link "http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?sample=17&qprid=42&qpcustom=iPhone", you can move back through the data on a daily basis by clicking the back button next to timeframe (or specify a timeframe by clicking on it). (To see iPod data, replace "iPhone" with "iPod" in the URL)

In looking at the data, there were large jumps in July and early August with the release of the 3G. Sept and Oct showed very little growth. But then middle Nov thru Dec have shown the same types of gains that were seen in August, implying that iPhones have been selling well again.

I don't understand 1) why the iPod Touch is not listed in the chart, and 2) is being lumped in with "Other" in the table. Apparently its share is (much) higher numbers than the Playstation, but not broken out separately. Is Net Applications combining that share with the iPhone? ex ped: No, iPod share is not combined with the iPhone's, according to this table. Don't know why Playstation is singled out and not iPod in the preliminary data. Perhaps Net Applications will correct that when it reviews the December results.

It would nice to see the year-over- year comparison to help discern whether these are traditional trends during December as business usage reduces over the holiday period and then to see if it returns in January. ex ped: There's lots of data on Net Application's public website, but perhaps not at the granularity you're looking for. The closest thing I could find was the monthly iPhone data starting June 2007. Click here.
