Mobile Browsing

Early 2011, 1% of online browsing came from tablets and smartphones. By Q3 of 2011, this number had doubled to 2%. In July 2012, the 5% mark was reached. We're now above 8% and we have even seen double digit percentages on some websites. More than 75% of this mobile browsing is done on tablets.

Mobile OS

Apple devices remain the devices of choice for mobile internet surfing: 2 out of 3 of mobile visits come from an iOS device. Android's growth has been accelerating, passing the 30% market share in November 2012. Nokia, Microsoft and Blackberry are marginal.

Desktop OS

The Windows vs. OSX split is roughly 90% - 10% and has been pretty stable for the past 12 months. Because most browsing takes place during the day in the workplace, Apple most likely has a larger than 10% market share for home use.

Desktop browsers

Over the past 12 months, Internet Explorer has continually lost ground. While it still represented more than 60% of desktop browsing in September 2011, that number hit 50% in November 2012. Sadly, IE7 still represents about 8% of visits. Google Chrome is gradually approaching a 20% market share.
