BING for "ios adoption rate" (one estimate is 29% in 16 hours), multiply by # of iThings, multiply by size of iOS, divide by # of seconds in estimate. As for why so many users upgrade so fast, that's a harder question. It could be iThing users are more willing to believe the fruit company's advertising (hype) . Could be that the device tells them to upgrade so they do. It is also at least partially due to the fact all iThings are upgradable (within a certain age horizon). Hope that gives you something to chew on, even if it doesn't answer the question. -- TTFN, patrick > On 9/19/2013 10:23 AM, Nick Olsen wrote: > >> We also saw a huge spike in traffic.
