Mac, iPhone shares continue rise
October 1st 2008
Last we checked, Mac users accounted for 7.86% of online traffic. This month's report? Well, the Mac users accounted for 8.23% of online traffic in September--a new all-time high.
The iPhone's recent rapid share rise has leveled a bit, with users of Apple's hot-selling handset accounting for 0.31% of online traffic last month. That's up just a smidgeon from August (0.3%), but together the Mac and iPhone now account for more than 8.5% of web traffic.
Linux useage, which had been rising consistently, saw a slight decline from last month, 0.91% vs 0.93%, respectively.
Still, taken altogether, *nix users account for about 10% of traffic, which leaves a paltry 90.29% of market for Windows.

Sadly, Firefox' usage retreated slightly last month, once again leaving the open-source browser shy of 20%. Safari's share is up nicely, but the big, big mover in last month's data is a new entry--Chrome.
Here's the browser Top 5:
01 Internet Explorer--71.52% (72.15%)
02 Firefox--19.46 (19.73)
03 Safari--6.65 (6.37)
04 Chrome--0.78 (new)
05 Opera--0.69 (0.74)
Thankfully, Chrome put Netscape out of our collective Top 5 misery, but pushed Opera back into the No 5 spot.
