TechCrunch’s log shows iPad owners love their site, relatively. According to M G Siegler, of all users visiting TechCrunch, 1.18% accessed the blog via iPad compared to 0.99% share of Android based devices (and this category includes EVERYTHING from Nexus One to Droid to G1). The numbers are really impressive for Apple with the percentage breakdown of visitors from the blog is -
Here’s a percentage breakdown of which OS visitors to TechCrunch have been using in the past 30 days:
- Windows – 59.68%
- Mac – 27.78%
- iPhone – 5%
- Linux – 3.72%
- iPad – 1.18%
- Android – 0.99%
- iPod – 0.67%
- (not set) – 0.54%
- BlackBerry – 0.28%
- SymbianOS – 0.07%
This gives Apple’s iPhone and iPod a comfortable lead over Android based devices:
So let’s assume “iPod” is the iPod touch. That means that all the iPhone OS devices put together account for 6.85% of all TechCrunch readership in the past 30 days. That’s more than Linux, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian combined.
Siegler’s own guess for this impressive iPad number is that “a ton of people just got the device and are trying it out for the first time and TechCrunch is a logical first stop (we hope)”
However, I think there could be n-number of explanation for these numbers including -
- iPad early adopters are same geeks who find TechCrunch heavenly entertaining (me!).
- Android fan-boys do not take kindly of TechCrunch.
- TechCrunch is an undisclosed subsidiary of Apple.
- Android is for Porn - as Steven Jobs said earlier.
