Today, the high-tech industry is primarily the smartphone industry. Gartner analysts estimate that 1 billion 200 million smartphones will be purchased worldwide in 2013. About one in six inhabitants of our planet will get a smart phone! Not everyone will actively use the mobile Internet, but it can already be assumed that several hundred million new consumers of mobile traffic will be added. This means that mobile browsers will have hundreds of millions of new users.
It is difficult to say why Google is not currently promoting its PC platform on the market. Perhaps the search giant considers computers to be "yesterday" and is not interested in the old market, which does not give a significant increase in the user audience? Or maybe this step is still ahead?
One can even guess when exactly mobile platforms will make their way to the PC operating system market. Transformer devices are gaining popularity today, a cross between tablets and laptops that can be used both as a tablet and as a computer. It's more like a tablet that connects to a full-fledged keyboard.
It is possible that such transformers are the future. No one says that they are capable of replacing powerful machines in computing centers, but they are quite capable of coping with most of the tasks of an ordinary user. Such universal computers will be relatively inexpensive and with an operating system already installed.
If Microsoft does not manage to make its Surface the market leader by that time, then other players will push it out. This means that Internet Explorer will be replaced as a favorite by the browser of the operating system that will by that time dominate the market of "tablet computers". Currently, Internet Explorer's position in the "mobile Internet" is quite insignificant, it accounts for only 0.86% of mobile web surfing.
Why did we single out Android Browser as the likely leader of the coming days? After all, Safari is in the first place in terms of mobile web traffic consumption today. The fact is that Apple devices are quite expensive. And, if in the first wave of mobile devices spreading around the world, energetic users bought them, fascinated by the charm of the iPhone, then the second wave will become a wave of mass devices. And in this segment of the market, there are no alternatives to Android yet. f8bet
