Mary meeker She is one of those analysts who become a reference and that everyone wants to hear every time she opens her mouth. The last we have been able to know comes from what he said in an interview with Bloomberg given at an event in San Francisco. Referring to the growth of mobile devices around the world, he has given an interesting detail, and that is that they are sold «six Android for each iPhone ». Therefore, the adoption rate of devices with Google operating system is much higher than that of iPhone.
It is a really striking fact, since it was she herself who back in May, referring to exactly the same aspect, said that four Android were sold for each iPhone. This gives us to understand that in a matter of months Android has grown a lot. Something that is normal if we take into account that the prices of many Android extremely cheaper than that of Apple's own smartphone.
Smartphones will overtake computers
Be that as it may, Mary Meeker was actually talking about the general growth of smartphones, not just Android. And he did it because, precisely, according to his calculations, during the coming year it will be possible to reach the point where more mobile devices are sold than computers. Mobile devices include smartphones and tablets, and computers encompass both desktops, in all their forms, and laptops.
This detail reveals that there are a large number of users who are replacing computers with smartphones or tablets. It is logical, on the other hand, since many of the functions that they use are available today on your smartphone. For example, all those who previously were limited to using the computer to browse social networks or chat with their friends and contacts, can now do so from their smartphone. And all this without talking about tablets, which are much more practical for certain activities on the Internet, and which meet the needs of a large number of users whose profession is not in the use of the Internet.
Undoubtedly, these are very interesting data, both to see how the Android market grows with respect to the iPhone, and also to realize how users make more and more use of mobile devices to the detriment of computers themselves.

Sisi a spectacular growth, for every 6 androids, 1 iphone sold, or what is the same 1000 models of terminals with android vs 1 single phone and sells only 6 × 1 ... a disastrous result.
But they have to bear in mind that the iPhone is not accessible to all social classes, therefore those who do not have enough for an iPhone buy an Android for a lower price, Android is accessible to everyone, that's why I eat not for an iphone, i buy a windows phone or android greetings!
