Festivus is usually celebrated in December. We have been seeing much Airing of Grievances (again and again) and Feats of Strength (again and again) the last few days regarding Apple, the iPad and the new iPhone OS4.0
Now we have some of the first results. In 4 days, 5.4% of all the connections on the largest Wi-Fi network were to the iPad. It’s a Festivus Miracle.
After less than a week, the number of people using iPads on Wi-Fi networks exceeds those who use Android, Blackberry or Windows mobile – combined!
Looks like the head of the household continues to win. Apple’s Festivus may never end.
