Yahoo is out with interesting findings concerning the demographics of iPad owners.

The service analyzed the behaviors of Yahoo iPad users and found that men outnumber women two to one, Flickr usage is 143% higher than average, and international traffic accounts for 10% of all traffic even though the device is only available for purchase in the U.S.

The other stats Yahoo uncovered are fairly obvious. 48% of Yahoo iPad users own an iPhone and 94% of them possess “solid wealth and strong incomes.” The company estimates that the “demographic profile of the iPad Yahoo! user closely followed the interests on Yahoo! that we would suspect” — usage of Flickr, Finance, News and Sports properties show much higher than average traction on the iPad.

Another interesting finding: Yahoo consumers ages 35-44 were overrepresented by 36% on the iPad, while the under-30 crowd happens to be vastly underrepresented.

Of course all this data does is point to Yahoo user demographics; it is not representative of the greater iPad population. Still we can make some safe conclusions from these findings: The device is popular with men, appeals to individuals with disposable income and offers a desirable browsing experience.

Opera opina sobre o Flash

Opera Claims That Flash Makes Little Sense For Video

By now almost everybody on the planet already knows that Apple and Adobe are having a little spat over Flash. Now Opera has come out and thrown its views into the ring as well. It's not surprising to hear that the browser company believes that the future of the web is open web standards, something that Adobe Flash isn't, though it was stressed that Opera would continue to support Flash, which has its purposes for dynamic content. As for a video container, Opera claims that you could more or less cook an egg on devices that are running Flash on them as Flash requires software decoding rather than hardware. What do you think Adobe's next move will be? Will there be some major changes, or is the company confident enough that it can continue on its current path and emerge as a victor?

RSS Apple Estimated To Have Sold 300k iPad 3Gs

Apple Estimated To Have Sold 300k iPad 3Gs

If you were wondering how Apple's iPad did in its launch last weekend, an estimate by a Piper Jaffray analyst puts the figure at 300,000 iPad 3G units sold that last weekend. This would include both 52 days of pre-orders and walk-in sales. Of the 50 Apple stores that were called on Sunday, it seems that all but one had completely run out of stock for the iPad 3G. If the figures are accurate, then Apple's iPad (3G and Wi-Fi combined) would become the quickest-selling tablet and eBook reader to date. Amazon is estimated to have sold about 3 million Kindles to date, but it took about 2-years to hit such a figure, while Apple may exceed that in just 6-months.
