Apple claims 84% of mobile app usage

Venturebeat reports that Google Android, in contrast, secured 16 per cent of the market. However, this is hugely up on the seven per cent it claimed in March, and is all the more impressive when it is considered that right now there is only one Android phone on the market – the T-Mobile G1.

Flurry adds that 53 per cent of iPhone owners will use their apps on a wi-fi network, with 37 per cent doing so on a private connection and 16 per cent on a public connection. App usage using mobile network connections account for 35 per cent of total use.

Typically, users are likely to keep on accessing apps for around three months, with peak usage occurring between the sixth and eighth week.
