"In the second quarter of 2011, the most striking thing is Good's users activated more iPad tablets than Android smartphones and tablets combined," said John Herrema, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Good Technology. "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. This is especially true in the Financial Services sector, which drove nearly half of all Good's iPad activations over the quarter."

Key Data Points:

    --  While Android continues to gain market share overall, Good's enterprise
        end users are showing clear preference for Apple products
    --  iOS tablet (iPad + iPad2) share of overall net activations outnumbered
        Android smartphone activations for the first time--27.2 percent to 24
        percent respectively
    --  Among the top 10 industry verticals, financial services continued to see
        the highest level of iPad activation, accounting for nearly half of net
        iPad activations by industry (46%)--more than tripling the amount of
        activation in any other industry
    --  iOS tablets represent over 95 percent of total tablet activations
    --  Android tablets declined slightly to 3.1 percent of overall tablet
        activations for the quarter
    --  Android smartphones represented nearly 33 percent of all smartphone (non
        tablet) activations compared to iPhone's 66 percent, despite Android's
        overall market share growth
    --  This quarter shows the impact of the iPad 2, which was released at the
        end of last quarter and did not have sufficient time in market to impact
        overall Q1 trends

Findings

In Good Technology's Q2 2011 metrics report, we take a look at the mobile devices activated by Good Technology's enterprise customers over the second quarter of 2011. Due, among other things, to the strength of having multiple SKUs available at multiple price points and compatibility with the top two US carriers, Apple's iOS platform dominated with 78.7 percent of net activations, while Android accounted for 21.3 percent.
