May 4th, 2010

In a new report by Net Market Share on May 1st, the market areas with the largest concentration of iPads are shown (as measured by it’s clients’ browser data) in the following list of top ten cities:

  1. San Francisco, CA (0.25% Internet share)
  2. Grand Junction, CO (0.23%)
  3. Santa Barbara, CA (0.19%)

The most notable cities amidst the top five are Grand Junction Colorado(2), Bend Oregon(5), and everyone’s favorite Island town, Honolulu Hawaii(4).  With the populations in these towns around 53,662; 82,280; and 377,357 respectively, one can begin to see a trend forming. The notion that the iPad is composed of tech-savvy businessmen, IT wiz-kids a computer nerds who live in thriving metropolises is being deconstructed. Cutting edge technology is not only reserved for those in high-rises and bustling streets of the big city. As this study shows, the latest in Apple technology is being enjoyed in its fullest from the most quaint of towns in western Colorado to the Isles of the Pacific Ocean.

Could this spark a new trend throughout the consumer technology industry? Will we start to see Best Buys and Apple stores opening in Hibberts Gore, Maine? Will the next Apple product debut take place amongst the farms and gentlefolk of Honey Brook, Pennsylvania? How about the next Worldwide Developers Conference, scheduled to kick off in Ravenwood Missouri? Only time will prove the reality of this grass-roots technological revolution, but for now, simply enjoy newest Apple gadget wherever you may be.
