Usage share of web browsers

The usage share of web browsers is the percentage of visitors to a group of websites that use a particular web browser. For example, when it is said that Internet Explorer has 66% usage share, it means that some version of Internet Explorer is used by 66% of visitors that visit a given set of sites. Typically, the user agent string is used to identify which browser a visitor is using. The concept of browser percentages for the Web audience in general is sometimes called browser penetration.[citation needed] More detailed information about a given browser can be found on the page for the browser in question. Notably, by-version browser share information for Internet Explorer can be found on the Wikipedia page for Internet Explorer.

Android Market vs. iPhone App Store: The First 24 Hours

Google’s Android Market has been officially live for 24 hours. Here are some early observations and comparisons with the iPhone App Store’s first 24 hours.

There are myriad similarities between iPhone and Android users:


* They like to play games, shop, and know what music they are listening to,
* They are curious about the weather, and
* They generally share the same interests as iPhone users

During the first 24 hours of Android Market, 62 apps were available to consumers, all free. This is less than 10% of the number of apps we saw at the launch of Apple’s App Store. Although Apple allowed both free and paid applications to be distributed when the App Store launched, paid downloads for Android will not be available until Q1 2009.
