iPhone outselling all individual netbook vendors
AdvertisementA recent survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, into mobile devices (the fourth time this regular survey was conducted) found that the iPhone far outsold ASUS’s Eee PC, the top netbook.
Demographics
On the 9th of February 2010 1,080 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.1% of the sample were male, 17.0% in their teens, 18.7% in their twenties, 21.2% in their thirties, 16.5% in their forties, and 26.6% aged fifty or older.
It is useful to compare the outcome of this survey and the other survey I published yesterday on mini notebook computers.

Of course, another, just as truthful headline would be “More people prefer netbooks over smartphones”. Or “Nintendo DS outsells iPhone 10 to 1.”
