The iPad tablet and the iPhone smartphone have been more popular with enterprise customers during the second quarter of the year, a study from a mobile device management and security firm reveals.
Regarding latest report from Good Technology, device activations for the iPad and iPad 2 in the enterprise space happened within the second quarter of the year compared to device activations in the same position for devices powered by the Google-supported Android mobile operating system.
The report says that in the enterprise market, 27.2 percent of all device activations were iPads and iPad 2s. This is compared to Android activations comprising 24 percent of all device activations for the market.
The new report notes that this has reversed the trend of Android devices having the upper hand in the enterprise market. This is also the first time IOS-device activations outnumbered Android activations.
When taking smartphones and tablets together, 75 percent of all activations are iOS devices, the study says.
Good Technology Senior Vice President John Herrema said in a statement that: “While Android may be gaining Smartphone market share with consumers, our business users are clearly gravitating to the iPad and doing so in large numbers.”
