iPad Penetration Doubles Previous Second Place Mobile Device

Shocked. That may be the only word to describe our disposition after looking at updated web analytics for our managed network of hotspots.

The iPhone took significantly longer to make this kind of impact when it was released in 2007, and the radical growth it experienced didn’t take off until the 3G edition was launched a year later (at a significantly lower price).
