iPad notches 3rd most popular Wi-Fi mobile device, Apple dominates top 10

Bookmark and Share

Apple launched the iPad in April of Q2. According to JiWire's data, the device quickly settled into the number three slot of most popular Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices. The iPhone remained in the top spot though dropping 11.4 percent. The iPod touch remained at number two.

It looks like Android devices are making moves to draw even.

Apple devices continue to dominate the top 10. However, the HTC Droid Incredible has become the most popular Android device, followed closely by the Motorola Droid, facilitating the platform's increase in market share and taking away from the Apple iOS. This quarter, both the Android and RIM platforms increased 1.2 and .07 percent respectively, while Apple's platform declined 2.3 percent despite launching two new products.

I rarely use Wi-Fi on my iPhone or Android devices, but as data caps like AT&T's users maybe trolling for Wi-Fi more than ever.
