Apple iPad accounts for 1% of web traffic

If you were wondering if the Apple iPad is a fad or not, you should know that the folks at NetMarketShare said the Apple tablet accounts for more than 1 percent of the global web traffic and 2.1 percent of all U.S. traffic.

While that may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, it does show that the Apple iPad is growing in popularity and indicates how it is being used. For comparison, that same report said that Linux only accounted for .71 percent of that same traffic.

I'm not sure if these Apple iPad numbers are part of a larger overall trend, as we don't know if other tablets can be as successful. Things like the PlayBook and Motorola Xoom appear to the have modest sales numbers so far but nothing coming even close to what Apple has been shipping. It may also see another sales boost later this year if the rumored iPad 3 does land later this year.
