iPhone Rules Worldwide Smartphone Traffic

by Peter Mychalcewycz on March 26, 2009 at 04:02 PM

Sales of Apple computers may have dropped in 2009, but the iPhone's worldwide share of smartphone traffic will surely give the higher-ups in Cupertino a reason to smile.

According to AdMob, the iPhone surpassed every other smartphone this past February by garnering 33-percent of worldwide tracked data requests. In the U.S., Apple's handset laid claim to approximately 50-percent of all traffic. To put this beating in perspective, traffic on the Nokia N70, which finished in second place, accounted for about seven-percent. The BlackBerry Storm, RIM's supposed iPhone killer, didn't even chart.

Although AdMob's data isn't perfect (the company only monitors mobile advertising requests), the information still shows the iPhone sitting pretty atop its smartphone brethren. [From: Textually, Via: Electronista]
