The rollout of the iPhone 3G has seen a large increase in the iPhone’s global Web share, according to figures released recently.

The figures, collected by Web analytics company Net Applications, show that in June 2008, before the launch of the iPhone 3G, the iPhone had 0.16 percent share of the operating system market, as measured by OS detection during Web browsing; and in July, it had 0.19 percent.
However, as of September 2, the iPhone had 0.3 percent of global market share, an increase of 58 percent in one month. According to Net Applications,
“The release of the iPhone 3G has brought large gains in Web-browsing share,” said a Net Applications report. “Prior to the launch, iPhone usage share had leveled off, but has since resumed its upward trend.”
This is considered significant news in this sector, as it means an increase in secondary usage for the product (aside from its use as a phone) which will trigger increased word of mouth for the iPhone.
