Hi. I guess these 0.15% are just by honeycomb androids (Hi-end models). What about the many chinese tablets with android 2.3 or lower? I think they are identified as smartphone access, due to the browser “useragent string”. And because of the low resolution screens, it may be difficult to differentiate for example between a HTC Desire (3.7 inches) and a Coby Kyros (7.0), both with 800 x 400 resolution . Is there a way to separate these two types of access?

To all the iPhone guys: Why should they include it ? It’s not a tablet device, what you’re trying to do, is making a cellphone the same as a tablet device, which does not make any sense.

Interesting… markets actually turn very fast… Android is on the rise and its web surfing experience is excellent… of course “iphone for as.” is a tempting device if you ignore battery drain and cheaper parts… would like to see traffic stats by phone…

This will turn around as tablets get more popular and better Android tablets get released. Let’s face it, most people who thought tablets were a good idea bought an iPad a year or 2 ago (when all the rest sucked) and have no need switch. But like the desktop and phones, Apple will retain a significant market share with much higher margins.

Also, Kindle Fire is not an iPad competitor. It’s smaller and WAY underpowered — a cheap tablet/book reader, rather than a full featured tablet.

“Do Android tablet users browse the web less than iPad users?”

The clear answer is yes!

@Hubu, StatCounter separates out iPad traffic.

Is this only for iPad, you show this as iOS, the iPhone is not in the statistics?
