- This graph is gorgeouslajj
- Are these the new names for the planets in our solar system? And where is the sun?
Is Mainframe Pluto?orrinward - I think we've already neared the saturation point. Further growth will be constrained by lack of infrastructure serving undeveloped nations.monNom
- 10B is rediculous unless everyone has 10 web-enabled devices.monNom
- whoops! #3 should be:
"...lack of infrastructure serving undeveloped countries."monNom

This is why it's so important that Apple is made to play fairly.
- Apple supports web standards like few companies doernexbcn
- in before: "they don't support Flash", Flash isn't a web standardernexbcn
- http://webkit.org/ <- this is what powers Safari, Chrome and Android web browser thank Appleernexbcn
- apple is playing fairly. could be playign themselves into a corner if the masses ever wake updeathboy

i love stats. of course the graph will show rapid growth of mobile web usage, it didn't exist 5 years ago, still it's interesting.
by show of hands, is anyone else now a little nervous that clients are going to expect a site that runs perfectly on both now-traditional browsers as well as mobile devices, for the same budgets as before? or is it a chance to milk a little more from the cash-teat, knowing that some fundamental choices in the structure and css will mean that a site will be viewable on most anything without too many headaches?

Yeah, this is a bit simplistic ain't it. Of course mobile usage is skyrocketing, everyone went out and bought their first smartphone over the past few years. At some point, you will hit saturation, and the chart will level off.
Having said that, it will be fascinating to see if the iPad and other slate computers are able to carve out an entirely new demo in between smartphone and laptop.
- those numbers would make sense if in relation to market size... like PPP in economics.zarkonite

yeah, i'm quite looking forward to seeing what people come up with for the ipad and the new deluge of ipad style devices. online magazines that are truly usable and allow decent advertising, so in turn support for good content. could be pretty exciting.

Maybe what the bottom chart shows best is that a) iPhone was a huge marketing success b) Rapid adoption of technology happening much faster now than in the 90s

if nothing else, mobile devices will push more web designers into good css usage rather than the staid table layouts. and more peeps doing that means more interesting css solutions and ideas.

Never give the client more for the same price. Every little dot and jiggle is a new way to coax money out of their wallets.

the designers role will go back to 100% designing, real programmers using real programming languages will make it work.
that will make it all better, i'm a little fed up of being a jack of all trades when all I set out to do was design.
- I agree, but I do find the backend work a little coolKnuckleberry
