More people are browsing the Web via an iPad than on an Android-powered device, according to new monthly browser usage data from one analytics firm.
In just three months on the market, Apple’s iPad has come to represent 0.17 percent of all Web browser traffic tracked by Net Applications. The iPad’s June total managed to exceed Android, which represented 0.14 percent of all Web browsing traffic.
Behind both of them was another iOS-powered device from Apple, the iPod touch. In June, the iPod touch took 0.12 percent of the Web browser share, according to Net Applications.
The iPad has seen a steady climb since it was released in April, notching 0.03 percent in the first month, when it was only available in the U.S. In May, the numbers tripled to 0.09 percent, only to nearly double again in June to the 0.17 percent figure that pushed it past Android.
The numbers, however, do not mean that there are more iPads on the market than Android devices. But the stats do indicate that a far higher percentage of iPad owners use their new device to browse the Web — so many, in fact, that it has now surpassed Android in that department.
If you’re a moviegoer, and would like to use an app that gives you the ability to intuitively discover, learn about films and purchase tickets, there is an app waiting for you on the App Store.
AppSpark recently released Movies Now HD. The app has been developed to simplify your movie-going experience by allowing you to purchase cinema tickets on the go. The app features a very stylish and simple user interface.
Movies Now HD provides instant, location-based show-times for cinemas. It delivers reviews and high-quality movie trailers to help you decide what movie to watch. With movietickets.com as the online ticketing partner, the app supports over 11,000 screens across the US and over 3,000 screens across Canada. Using a simple ticket purchasing system, you can skip ticket lines at the cinema.
Those with kids and iPads will notice that the latter find the former irresistible. When connected to the Internet, they provide access to all that the Web and App Store have to offer, some of which is decidedly not for kids. Here’s how you can use the iPad’s built-in Restrictions settings to limit their access.
Open the general settings and click Restrictions. You’ll have to create a special 4-digit pass code; pick one the kids can’t guess. From there you can disable access to Safari, YouTube, iTunes, location notification and the ability to install apps.
Even though the first iPhone lacked a GPS and compass (not to mention a true gyroscope), there were a few early avionic entries to the App Store, mostly involving crude tilt measurements. When the iPhone got a GPS and then a compass, it became a wee more useful to the flying sort. The iPad brings ample screen size to the table, and the iPhone 4 has a gyroscope. But leave it to good ol’ American ingenuity (or largess) to put an iPad smack in the middle of a plane’s dashboard.
