For the moment, it seems that the iPad is the only tablet that matters. While it’s difficult to get a direct measure of the numbers of types of tablets out there, there are a number of ways to approximate those numbers through indirect means.
Before we get back to the serious business of mobile industry statistics, let’s have a little fun. We’ll share some photos of mobile products that we at CTS most emphatically do not recommend.
We continue with our look at the numbers describing the use of mobile technology for 2012, this time looking at how much mobile traffic is moving about the world. Right now, we can measure quarterly traffic in terms of petabytes, but we’re not that far off from having to describe it in exabytes.
