Good Technology has conducted a survey amongst its enterprise customers and found that iPhone 4S’ and iPads have dominated the statistics for device activations in the first quarter of 2012.
The findings showed that Apple’s iPhone 4S claimed the number one device spot overall, with 37% of all activations (four times that of any other device).
The iPad 2 claimed the second spot overall, with 17.7% of activations for the quarter.
Unsurprisingly, the iPad 3, released just a month ago has jumped straight to the number four spot, with 4.3% of all activations for the quarter, and an impressive 12.1% of activations in March alone. Apple sold 3 million units in the first week.
Apple holds the top six spots in terms of enterprise activations according to Good Technology. The iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPad 3, iPad 1 and iPhone 3GS all leading any competing devices.
This broadly falls in line with the high sales revenues the company has been generating, as demonstrated by its strong quarterly performance announced this week.
Amongst Android devices, the aging Motorola Droid remains the enterprise tool of choice. It took the top Android spot with 1.6% of all activations, making it the seventh most popular device for the quarter. After this, the Samsung Galaxy SII accounted for 1.1%, followed by the Google Nexus with 0.9%.
Overall, Android smartphones represented 26.1% of all activations for the quarter, while Android tablets came in at 2.7%.
This essentially gives Apple a 70/30 split in smartphones. In tablets the division is essentially 100/0 (a 97.3% to 2.7%) split between the two platforms.
iPads were activated the most in three industries: financial services (40.8%), business and professional services (9.4%) and life sciences (9.3%). Life sciences in particular showed huge growth in the quarter.
Good has said at the next report period it will be including Windows Phone 7.5 devices, such as the Nokia Lumia series (which CBR reviewed here).
