the global personal computing platform

Is known as "the queen" KPCB partner Mary, John obi mikel (Mary Meeker) recently released its updated version of the 2012 global Internet trends report, one from 1975 to 2012, the global personal computing platform, the market share of the chart shows: Wintel (Windows + Intel) platform is the most prosperous before from 96% of the market share, down to 2012 now 35% market share. And the Android and iOS is occupied 65% market share, which critics say, Android and iOS is "murder" Wintel. That is smart phones and tablet PC is replacing the traditional PC (including notebook). The fact is really such as Mary, John obi mikel said?

The first question is, will the intelligent mobile phone and tablet PC together to and compared the traditional PC are objective and fair? If the tablet PC (at least from the computer name and the word) has the form of traditional PC, including some performance and experience close to traditional PC words, so intelligent mobile phones are far away from each other with the traditional PC. Whether form or performance and using experience and application. After all, more intelligent mobile phone call is its basic have the functions. And from Mary, John obi mikel's chart is not difficult to discover, really pull or fastest growth is based on Android and iOS system of intelligent mobile phone. It is difficult to become a direct rival products is put together, it's hard to say that the comparison of the objective and fair.

There are important need explanation is, in between mobile phone and PC, the user need more mobile phone, this is common sense, and with the intelligent mobile phone prices continue to drop, the replacement of traditional functional mobile phone is the trend of The Times, and at present functional mobile phone has the quite big market, it also determines the future intelligent mobile phone will accelerate the development of, after all, lower base there. So smartphone growth and popularization and traditional PC without any relationship, even if currently used functional mobile phone users don't change or late in intelligent mobile phone and buy a new mobile phone (purchase smartphone) for the traditional PC market without any increase or decrease the influence of the affected only is intelligent mobile phones have spread speed and growth rate. At the same time also no conclusive evidence that market, don't change or late in intelligent mobile phone users because want to buy PC, or new intelligent mobile phone users for buying smart phones and give up the purchase of PC.
