Mary Meeker made some interesting points at the Web 2.0 Summit yesterday in San Francisco.  One to note is outlined in the graph below.

Take a look at the acceleration of the iPad versus the iPhone and iPod, shown in shipments per quarter.  Apple currently controls 74% of all tablets sold in the United States, said Tim Cook at a recent Apple Keynote.

I find this hard to believe, but facts are facts.  I like my iPad, but it doesn’t seem as useful as a smartphone.  My iPhone is always with me, my iPad isn’t.  And I can’t replace my desktop with an iPad, I’ve tried. But maybe that’s because of what I do for a living.

Now, checkout this slide on Android acceleration.

When you compare Android and iPhone shipments, the acceleration of the Android platform dwarfs the iPhone.

Here’s her complete presentation.
