the commercial transaction is absolutley not surprising. apple’s success is built on small trannsactions. itunes store or app store. if that is part of the statistics, then the buying behaviour of an iphone user is nothing different from anyone else…

@dnynumberone: While I agree that the stats on percentage of iphone users with a Mac would be somewhat interesting, I can’t follow that leap in your logic. Just like other phones, the majority of mobile phone users won’t be programmers, whether they own a Mac or PC or nothing at all. Perhaps the stat you want is percentage of programmers that own both iPhone and Mac vs iPhone and PC? Good luck finding that one though …

I agree that Macs have been stigmatized as the “creative persons” computer, while the real work is done by geeks running linux. (imho) You CAN be a serious, hardcore programmer and still use a Mac (although granted this is not the majority). I’ve had both myself, and I’ve found unless you are developing something specific to an OS it doesn’t make much of a difference. I HAVE built some “serious, hardcore” apps – apps for large telcos for example, with millions of users and real-time requirements. This can be done on either platform, since you are writing apps that will be deployed to serious server hardware (not Macs or PCs).

I think what really inhibits the development of serious apps on an iPhone is a couple factors. The first are a couple limitations of the iPhone itself, most notably that it can’t run a background process. Second, the majority of large companies haven’t figured out yet that they could really benefit from offering useful iPhone apps to their customers. Once this happens, I *hope* we’ll see less “cute, useless crap” and more apps that provide real user value.

i’ve been browsing sites on statistics about iphone users, and i still can’t find one of the more relevant (imho) statistics – what percentage of iphone users have a mac as their home computer VS. the percentage that run windows/linux/other.

i think this is a very relevant topic because if the iphone developer’s kit. i run windows, and can’t develop apps for the iphone because of that. *most* serious, hardcore programmers run linux or windows. by ignoring this demographic, apple seems to be taking the stance of, “we’ll have a lot of apps for the iphone, but most will be cute, useless crap.” which, after installing about 50 apps, turns out to be the case.

cough up the missing statistic, and maybe we’ll see an sdk available for people who buy computers for coding, rather than people who buy computers because of better graphics.

The flaw I see with the idea that iPhone users are more comfortable with ads is the idea that they are assumed to be Mac users.

Many iPhone users use Windows. It’s the use of search engines and social media that makes us more comfortable with ads, I believe.

If this survey was conducted before the 3G was launched then surely all those who’d installed apps were doing so on a jailbroken device.

@Brock: Because you delete anything with apps you don’t believe the survey results? That’s just idiotic.

I am quite skeptical of the ad supported software. I throw out any app immediately if it has ads. Especially if their is another similar app.

Mac users have been generally kept away from ads by Apple. No ads on Apple website. No ads on iTunes. No stickers on Apple computers.

Nope. Don’t believe it. If anything, these are the switchers answering this way.

“It should be noted that this survey was conducted just prior to the introduction of the iPhone 3G — so some figures may have changed since then.”

Umm yeah, because $400+ vs. $199 is a huge difference that can bring in folks from just about every demographic.

Either way, not much surprises here in this study. I’m reading each finding, nodding my head “yep, that’s me…. yep, that’s me…” :)
