I stumbled into gs.statcounter.com, and poked at the mobile os data there. It
really hit me how there is tremendous variation of device OS market share from
country to country.
Here are some samples.
Range extremes:
• iOS: 68% in Denmark, 1% in India
• Android: 91% in South Korea, 6% in Somalia
• Blackberry: 39% in St Martin, 1% in Thailand
• Windows Phone: 23% in Finland, 1% in India
• Series 40: 60% in Liberia, 1% in Austria
• Symbian: 36% in Oman, 1% in Columbia
Basically no iOS or Android:
• South Africa: Blackberry and Series 40 (Nokia) lead with a combined
60%, iOS has 3%
Two western European countries where Android and iOS distribution is
flip-flopped:
• Spain: 70% Android, 25% iOS
• Sweden: 62% iOS, 35% Android
Not the usual presence from a North American perspective:
• Pakistan: 39% Series 40, 17% Symbian
FYI.
